I have a supplementary question. If
safety is the priority, has the minister asked Main Roads to explain how
asbestos at a project site went unaddressed for four months?

As I said, there were continual
assessments, and it has been identified over the past week that there was
likely asbestos. As I said, safety is our number one priority. We are working through
that. These things happen on site, in particular when working on unused and old
landfill sites. That is why we continue to monitor very, very closely and work
through all the appropriate regulations. We have appointed dedicated
supervisors down there to ensure we manage the whole site effectively.
