I welcome this referral to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works. It is one of the super science projects involving the Centre for Accelerator Science and I look forward to attending those hearings. I would like to advise the House that the Public Works Committee this morning has approved as a medium work the integrated waste management facility at ANSTO. The existing waste conditioning and packaging building will be upgraded and extended to ensure that radioactive waste at ANSTO is processed, conditioned and packaged for long-term storage and ultimate disposal to a waste repository. I am very supportive of that.

Question agreed to.
