Commonwealth Entities Legislation Amendment Bill 2026

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (13:48): That's just made it—for the benefit of the Australian public—a whole lot worse because the ART is a $1 billion creation of the Labor government, and what you have now just said is that you actually moved from transparency in relation to the AAT and performance standards to now align with a process and culture of secrecy.

So I have to say that alarms me now more than anything. If I could now just turn to the suspension powers in the bill, what is the threshold that must be met before a minister may exercise the suspension power under the bill?
