Wendy Askew

At the request of Senator Duniam, I move:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs, by no later than 2 pm on Monday, 23 March 2026:

(a) any ministerial determination, authorisation or instrument made under section 9 of the Australian Passports Act 2005 in relation to any individual within the cohort of 34 Australian citizens (commonly referred to in public reporting as 'ISIS brides and their children') who have been reported as intending to travel imminently to Australia;

(b) any document recording or evidencing the exercise of ministerial discretion to excuse, exempt or otherwise not apply section 37 of the Australian Passports Act 2005 in relation to any individual within that cohort and any person seeking to help them; and

(c) any associated ministerial submissions, briefs, file notes, departmental advice and records of decisions relating to the matters identified in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

Sue Lines

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 413, standing in the name of Senator Duniam, be agreed to.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
