It's absolutely essential that Melbourne, and Victoria, has a rail link to the airport.

We're building the infrastructure we need, whether it be the Melbourne Rail Link, the airport rail link which Melburnians have so wanted for over 40 years, upgrading the Pakenham-Cranbourne railway line, or building the East-West Link.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

Beyond highways and roads, we need more money for mass transit, intercity passenger rail and freight rail. We have a long way to go to bridge the funding gaps.

Australia has an economic interest in ensuring our cities have 21st century urban rail transport to reduce traffic congestion.

The rail service is important for my district.

The Government's mission is to build a strong and fair Australia capable of meeting the new challenges of the 21st century.

The combination of funding for our ports, airports, and highways is a really significant investment in our infrastructure.

America is ready for livable communities. America is ready for high-speed rail.

If I never saw another airport again, I'd be happy!
