“More than 100,000 people from over 30 countries travelled to the snowy in the Second World War for work on the snowy scheme,” Mr Taylor said during his National Press Club address.
“So, whilst migration will continue to serve as well into the future, it only works if you have a complimentary plan around the infrastructure, the housing and the services that are required. “Instead, the government is cutting infrastructure spending in real terms and reallocating it to their pet projects.”

National Party was good at ‘announcements’ but not ‘building things’: PMPrime Minster Anthony Albanese says the National Party was “good at announcements”, but not good at “building things”. “They took inland too literally – like, the whole idea of the Inland Rail project was to improve freight and to improve exports,” Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Monday. “If it doesn’t go to a port, it’s pretty hard to see how it works and that was a cost of $31 billion before you add on the necessary links as well.”
