There's another $1.2 billion for the Regional Infrastructure Fund - to support regional economies.
It’s also allocating $2.7-billion package for roads, rail and public transport. The package includes a billion-dollars to speed up Roads of National Significance construction, 940-million to repair weather-damaged roads and an investment in rail networks.
