Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:56): As I said, what the modelling shows is jobs growth in Queensland, wages growth in Queensland and an increase in gross state product. If the senator wanted to talk about regional Australia, I would have thought he would be somewhat ashamed that he, as a National Party person in this place under a coalition government, never delivered the sort of investment in regional Australia that this government delivered in the budget, the sort of investment that this government delivered in the budget to regional hospitals, regional universities, regional services and infrastructure —something never achieved under Senator Joyce. Senator Joyce: I rise on a point of order, Mr President. It is one of relevance. Does she agree that it has a disproportionate impact on regional Queensland—yes or no? The PRESIDENT: The minister is addressing the question. The minister has 26 seconds remaining. Senator WONG: The senator may wish to recall that what the modelling shows is that the coal industry in Queensland is expected to continue to grow out to the end of the decade. Senator Joyce interjecting— Senator WONG: Last time I looked they did not mine coal in Brisbane, Senator. Coal will continue to grow and we also have seen record investments in LNG in the state of Queensland. (Time expired)
