ORD STAGE 2 - MARSDEN JACOB ASSOCIATES REPORT
I ask a supplementary question. Given that the Minister for State Development engaged Marsden Jacob Associates in April 2004 to review and update the business case for Ord stage 2, will he make the process public in the best interests of open and accountable government; and, if not, why not? Mr E.S. RIPPER

The report was commissioned to advise the government on the best approach to Ord stage 2. The government is working on all those issues for the extended expressions of interest process. It may be that it would be a good thing as part of an extended EOI process to release further information to the market, including the Marsden Jacob Associates report. However, we must consider that further, and try to set up an expressions of interest process that has the best chance of achieving a successful result.
