My question is to the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources, as the minister responsible for the nuclear industry. Will the minister release the full submission to the Switkowski inquiry from Nuclear Fuel Leasing Group, a company seeking to build a global nuclear waste dump in Australia?

Would the member for Kingsford Smith repeat the question for the benefit of the minister.

I do not have a full list of who made submissions to that inquiry, but I am happy to get the House a full list, based on the fact that it is not commercial-in-confidence, which was one of the conditions of releasing that to the public. I will ask those people involved, personally, if they are happy for the report to be released.
