While I understand where Senator Browne is coming from, from my perspective I would not want any encumbrance placed in the way of the State or the company in the disposal of any company stock or in terms of where the revenue might be used afterwards. Such an encumbrance is unnecessary. This is not something any Government has done in the past in identifying particular projects. I appreciate the Senator is not identifying projects. Given the level of Government investment in capital projects, particularly infrastructural projects, and the development of the public transport system, there is little doubt that the Government has shown a true commitment to such investment. Therefore, I am happy with the current situation.
