DOCUMENTS

Senator McALLISTER (New South Wales—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme) (18:29): I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 356. Leave granted. Senator McALLISTER: I move an amendment to the motion: Omit all words after "That", substitute: (a) orders for the production of documents is one of the Senate's most serious powers, and should be used when other processes have been exhausted rather than for fishing expeditions; and (b) senators seeking to order the production of documents should consider paragraph (a) and refine their orders accordingly.

The PRESIDENT: The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator McAllister to general business notice of motion no. 356 be agreed to.
