DOCUMENTS

Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (12:07): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator GALLAGHER: The government will be opposing this motion.

This order seeks aggregate data of users accessing the Home Guarantee Scheme since 1 October 2024. While the motion as agreed to by the Senate gave a period of less than 24 hours to produce more than a year's worth of data for about 230,000 Australians—including age brackets, individual income, household income, occupation group, property purchase prices, single or joint borrower status and loan-to-value ratio—I'm happy to advise the documents relating to this order have been tabled this morning.

The PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 462 standing in the name of Senator Bragg and moved by Senator Askew be agreed to.
