I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) As outlined in previous answers on this matter, a number
of shutdown options were considered, predominantly concerning shorter
and more frequent shutdowns over a longer period, or the extended shutdown. The
extended shutdown was determined to be the least disruptive to the community
over the longer term.
