I am advised that the co-ordination of the Government position in relation to the ratification of the Antarctic Treaty is a matter for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

I can confirm, however, that my Department has not carried out a cost benefit analysis of the nature referred to by the Deputy.
