That is very true. If we go further and look at the entire budget package and what it will provide, we see things like CCTV, which will be placed right across Western Sydney and right across our nation. For instance, I think there will be $1 million worth of CCTV for Parramatta; $300,000 worth of CCTV for my own electorate of Lindsay. These practical benefits will improve the economic activity in some of our disjointed suburban shopping districts to provide safe places for people to shop. It will provide—and, once again, to use the member for McMahon's words—vision. entrepreneurship and confidence.

So when I really look at this MPI, I find it quite astounding that those opposite would talk about an adverse impact with this budget when they themselves have created the adverse impact. We are cleaning up six years of Labor's mess. When it comes to confidence, you just have to look at the infrastructure package that we are running right across our country. There is an $11.6 billion infrastructure growth package, which shows nothing more than vision from the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure.

I would like to commend the government for having the vision and the entrepreneurship to invest in our regions and to ensure that we build a better Australia for our children and that each of our outer metropolitan regions have connectivity and jobs for the future.
