DOCUMENTS

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (18:46): by leave—I move: 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 all other processes have been exhausted; and (b) senators can seek information through questions without notice, questions on notice and through Senate estimates.

Senator McKim interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McKim, I have called for order. The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Green to general business notice of motion No. 367, standing in the name of Senator McKenzie, be agreed to.

A division being required, we will defer that until another day.
