Mr ANDREW: My question is to the Minister for Transport and Main Roads. With reference to
many recent road accidents and fatalities in my region, will the minister advise when some of the
$66 billion in mining royalties the government has raked in over the last 10 years will be sent back to
the regions where they came from to fix up the absolutely shocking state of Queensland’s disintegrating rural and regional road network, mainly the Bruce Highway? It is a goat track. 

Mr SPEAKER: Member for Mirani, I am going to rule the question out of order. It started as a
question, but it turned into a statement and it did not finish with a question.
