Commonwealth Entities Legislation Amendment Bill 2026

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:10): Again, can I just confirm that the discretion you have referred to also means that, yes, they may decide to but, within this bill, there is no requirement for the Attorney-General to have this published? They don't have to. You mentioned the word 'discretion' in relation to the Attorney-General.

So there is no requirement in the bill that actually says, 'Within five days, you have to advise the parliament and the people of Australia that the Attorney-General has indeed issued a general direction to the Office of Parliamentary Counsel'?
