I thank the member for Ballarat for her question. I was not the minister at the time. I became the minister for infrastructure in February 2018. This took place before that. That said, the entire purchase of the land is under three investigations—investigations that have been called for by the department itself and by the ANAO, an organisation with which the member for Ballarat is very familiar. The Federal Police are looking into it, as is an independent auditor. I'm sure that when those investigations, thorough as they will be, take place, the government will consider that review and act accordingly then.
