What was the outcome of the minister's investigation into the use of asbestos in the new junction buildings on the Seaford line, and has the asbestos been removed?

The second question for the week with two minutes to go—that's pretty average. As I was saying, these investigations have been ongoing between the department and SafeWork, and they are between them determining the best course of action for the treatment of this asbestos.
