My question is to the Prime Minister. The community of Williamtown and surrounds in my electorate has been deeply affected by PFAS contamination. When will the Prime Minister release the government's response to the report into PFAS contamination, which was tabled in this parliament in December 2018?

I thank the member for her question on this very important matter. As you would be aware, the issues surrounding PFAS have been going back over many, many government administrations. They go back over this government's administration, over the previous government's administration and many more beyond that. This government decided to actually take action on this issue. As the member would be aware, we are currently engaged in mediation with the parties.
