Answer

MBIE's analysis of the costs was included in Exploring the Case for LNG, which was released alongside the Cabinet paper. This matter was also covered in a briefing titled Accelerated Delivery Solution procurement approach. The estimates themselves were withheld to support the Crown's negotiating position.
