The government will be opposing this motion. The decision to decommission the Northern Endeavour was a decision taken by the former government in 2021. It may be the case that the former government's decision to decommission the Northern Endeavour was informed by expert analysis, but we don't have access to advice provided to the former government and no documentation of the type described has been furnished to the Minister for Resources, the Hon. Madeleine King MP. We oppose the motion on that basis.
