The government does not support this inquiry, as the information being sought is largely available on the department's website. The government is now assessing three possible sites in two communities for their social and technical suitability to host a national radioactive waste management facility.

The Minister for Resources and Northern Australia has advised that he would be happy to provide a briefing on this project to any senator or member.
