    No different here in Qld with road funding, Albanese took money away last year and now makes a big scene about giving money to Qld again.

    So they take away $363 million and give $255.7 million back and say they are doing wonders.

    I have said numerous times on here that labor voters have very short memories when it comes to their party doings.

    Deputy Premier Steven Miles will lead a delegation to Canberra to convince federal Infrastructure Minister Catherine King to "go back to the drawing board" over proposed project cuts.

    Queensland was not the worst hit when funding for 50 projects around the country were slashed following a federal infrastructure review.

    Nine projects valued at $363 million have been axed in Queensland, including six road upgrades and two commuter car parks.

    Funding for upgrades to the Bruce Highway and the Gateway motorway have also been scaled back.



    Under the Road Safety Program, the Australian Government has committed $255.7 million, with Queensland Government providing joint funding of $255.7 million, sourced through the Camera Detected Offence Program, bringing the total investment to $511.5 million.
