I am one of the many members in this chamber who was born and bred in the South-East and hold it as a very dear part of the state and still have an immense number of friends in that part of the world. It is a very important part of the state and that is why we announced a whole range of regional initiatives in the lead-up to the election, to support the regions and not turn our back on the regions, like your government did.</text>
