DOCUMENTS

Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (11:57): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: The same document sought in this motion has also been sought via FOI.

Whether or not this document ought to be released is currently before the Federal Court of Australia. The coalition is not opposed to the release of the document, in principle, but awaits the outcome of that matter currently before the courts before taking a final position. The PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 562, standing in the name of Senator Shoebridge, be agreed to.
