Commonwealth Entities Legislation Amendment Bill 2026

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:13): This will be going for a little while, so can you undertake to find out on what dates the Office of Parliamentary Counsel were consulted? In particular, I want to know—it's one thing to be responsible for drafting legislation. That means nothing.

That doesn't mean you've been consulted on it. Were they consulted, and did they indeed support the introduction of a ministerial directions power?
