Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (14:35): Minister, I hear the administrator is now liquidating Liberty Bell Bay and has authorised Manheim Australia to start selling critical components and spare parts. This will ensure the facility can never be returned to operation. That's it dead and buried.

If a viable offer is put forward, Minister, will you intervene so that it can be properly considered and we can avoid the loss of the onshore capability?
