My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The Tasmanian government has cut a new deal with the federal government on the Marinus Link, a new underwater electricity link between Tasmania and Victoria. The cost of the project has blown out to over $5 billion. When Minister Bowen announced that the Australian government is now taking 50 per cent of the equity in the proposed Marinus Link, he is reported to have said:

… all the expert analysis and evidence I've seen supports this project being built.

Will the minister commit to releasing all the expert analysis and evidence upon which he based his decision?
