My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, representing the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. Minister, I helped secure a $50 million grant to refurbish Macquarie Point in Hobart and unleash $1 billion in investment. This is the largest brownfield site left in any capital city, but the state government is now talking about using it for a woodchip pile. Minister, surely this is at odds with any agreement with the Commonwealth, in which case will you immediately quash this plan?
