I would like to provide additional information in regard to Senator Ludlam's question yesterday about overdue answers to questions on notice. The senator asked me, as the Minister representing the Minister for Resources, Energy and Northern Australia, for an explanation as to why answers have not yet been provided to questions on notice Nos 2642 and 2907.

I am advised by my department that it is still preparing the material to answer these questions. I have instructed the department to make this a priority. I am advised the department is obtaining advice from technical agencies to ensure the information is correct. They have advised that the answers will be provided as soon as possible.
