It is the case that, on the information provided to the Public Works Committee, the Labor members believe that the parliament is not ready to make this decision. Labor members listened to and took heed of all the evidence and, based on the evidence provided, determined to prepare a dissenting report. There may well be other evidence that has not been shared with the Public Works Committee, but committee members can only make recommendations based on the evidence the committee has. Labor urge the government to act with caution and with reference to the significant amount of taxpayers' money involved.

Question agreed to.
