I refer to question on notice 612, which asked for target completion dates of the transfer of responsibility of six ports, to which the Minister responded that firm dates have not been set for the completion of these transfers, and I ask: (a) is the Minister able to please provide a general (single-sentence or so) update regarding the status of each of these ports in terms of the transfer process: (i) Port Walcott; (ii) Cape Preston; (iii) Barrow Island; (iv) Onslow; (v) Carnarvon (Useless Loop); and (vi) Carnarvon (Cape Cuvier)?
