Cairns Economist Bill Cummings chats about a federal government announcement about a transcontinental route upgrade to seal a 1000km stretch of highway which will ultimately connect Cairns with the Red Centre and beyond into Western Australia. 
$678 million has been promised, with a share of $154 million to be allocated for the Queensland sections of the road. 
Bill Cummings has been one of the inland rout's top supporters, ever since the first studies were conducted in 2006.
