Mr Deputy Speaker, if the government is determined to go ahead with this motion today, we will grant leave and we will not block it. But it is the view of the opposition that not enough information has yet been provided to the parliament to make the case for this decision, and we do caution the government—in terms of the large amount of public money that is involved—that we are currently being asked to act on insufficient information.

Leave granted.
