My question is to the minister. In 2014 the minister promised to enshrine certainty, transparency, focus and a national purpose in infrastructure planning, development and delivery. But yesterday he refused to produce key documents on the WestConnex project because he deemed it not in the public interest. Minister, given that it is the public that is funding this project, why is releasing this information not in the public interest? In whose interest is it to keep the business case and traffic modelling secret—your developer mates?
