Adjournment Matters. - Roads Projects.
I note the Progressive Democrats Senators have left the House and perhaps understand the reason for this. During the general election campaign that party played on both sides of the fence in relation to motorway projects. In particular, Senator Dardis questioned the need for motorways and gave an assurance in the national media that the Progressive Democrats, in government, would not provide taxpayer's money for a motorway that was not affordable. That is in complete contradiction of what has happened in the meantime. I and many others would like to hear from the Progressive Democrats – Senator John Dardis in particular – the reason they issued that statement before the general election, but have not done anything about it subsequently – or have they?
