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) (11:46): by leave—A PII claim for the classified version of the Defence Estate Audit already outlines that it includes sensitive information regarding defence bases.
There is a public version available that will not jeopardise the operational effectiveness of Australia's defence capabilities. Defence is being targeted by adversaries looking to gain a strategic advantage, with foreign interference at extreme levels. We do not support this motion proceeding today.
The PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 695 standing in the name of Senator Lambie and Senator Shoebridge be agreed to.
