The federal government is continuing to fully cooperate with Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. The outcome of the Workplace Health and Safety Queensland investigation is paramount as it is the investigation into the cause of the death. Once the investigation has been finalised and reported on, the department will be in a position to release its own review. Minister Cash has written to the responsible Queensland minister seeking the assurance that the current investigation will be finalised expeditiously, noting the importance of such an investigation being thorough and comprehensive. It would not be appropriate for the government to put material on the public record when there is an ongoing investigation.

Question agreed to.
