Mr Truss asked the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, in writing, on 11 May 2010:

Is it a fact that the report on the social and financial considerations used in making the decision to build Section B of the Cooroy to Curra upgrade of the Bruce Highway on the eastern alignment cannot be released until it has been approved by the Australian Government; if so, by what date will the Australian Government approve the release of the report.


Mr Albanese (Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government) —The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:

The Australian Government is investing $688 million to upgrade the section of the Bruce Highway between Cooroy to Curra. Construction is now underway following 12 years of inaction by the previous government.
