I thank the member for some notice of this question. The minister responds in the following terms - The question is confused. Murchison Metals Ltd is not asking the state to construct a railway and a port. It is proposing to do this itself with a joint venture partner. The member must clarify whether he wants the government to indicate which of the rival proposals from mining companies it is supporting.
