I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Yes. (2)–(3) The Office of Energy is currently seeking additional information about the project to assess the project risks, including whether it can be completed in a reasonable time frame and whether it remains financially viable. As the member will be aware, there is a great divergence of opinion about that wind farm, so we will continue to work through it.
