The Torrens to Torrens and Darlington projects will create thousands of jobs over the next four years. They are funded by nearly $1 billion of federal government money and $600 million of state government money. Stephen Mullighan, the state minister, has been terrific to work with to get these projects up and away. He shares the commitment that we have to do both the Torrens to Torrens and the Darlington project. And we are also working on ensuring that we have a 10-year plan to upgrade, as the infrastructure prime minister's commitment made very clear.

This is a government that has an economic plan. We are delivering upon our economic plan. We are fixing the mess that was left to us by the Labor Party—the budget crisis we were left—but we are getting on with our growth plan to create more opportunities, more jobs and a stronger Australia.
