QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr SCAMPS (Mackellar) (14:59): My question is for the Treasurer. In February 2023, the government commissioned a review of public sector board appointments. At that time the Minister for the Public Service stated, 'In line with the government's commitment to transparency, a report will be published after the review is finalised in mid-2023.' The final report was handed to government over 18 months ago, and yet last sitting week the government opposed a motion in the Senate for an order for the production of documents to make the report public.

Treasurer, why has the government reneged on their self-declared commitment to transparency?
