As the member would be aware, we provide regular updates via
brief ministerial statements to the house to make sure that we keep the house
as informed as we possibly can. We are dealing with complex private sector
contracts with private sector interests and, of course, key amongst those are
the commercial-in-confidence arrangements that sit behind a lot of those
arrangements. We will make sure that we provide all the information we can
while protecting that commercial-in-confidence arrangement.
