(1)–(2) Yes, there will be a state agreement act for the project. There has already been a state development agreement announced, and out of that the actual state agreement, the legislative component, will be developed. When will that be brought to Parliament? It will be brought to Parliament very shortly after negotiations are finalised. As it stands at the moment, the deadline has been extended to 30 December this year; therefore, I would not expect to see a state agreement act this year.
