Barnaby Joyce says major road and dam projects in Queensland are not only good for the state but the nation.

"I certainly don't take this place for granted, Malcolm doesn't take it for granted and we want to make sure we drag other people along with us on this path of making Queensland a stronger place - there's my little epistle from St Barnaby," he told reporters in Brisbane on Monday.
