“I have a strong track record of delivering for Capricornia.

“Since 2013 I am proud to have delivered over $5.7 billion in infrastructure for Capricornia.

“This funding is building the roads and bridges that gets our loved ones home every night, and the nation building infrastructure that will support jobs and the Australian economy for generations to come.

“The Federal Coalition Government and I will continue to work hard to keep cost of living down and deliver much needed infrastructure for the region.

Labor’s Russell Robertson had this to say after the ballot draw.

“It’s always nice to be number one but it’s going to be based around policy,” Mr Robertson said.

“So realistically it’s about the work that you’ve done in the lead up.

“And that’s what I’m hoping.

“That I’ve done enough.”
