Text recorded with this division

Malcolm Roberts

I move:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs, by no later than 5 pm on 2 July 2026:

(a) the submission of Metrea Australia to the Department of Home Affairs' request for tender (ATM ID: HOMEAFFAIRS/2143/RFT) that led to the $4.32 billion surveillance contract under contract notice CN4239669; and

(b) the $4.32 billion contract with Metrea Australia executed under CN4239669.

Matt O'Sullivan

I seek leave to make a short statement.

Sue Lines

Leave is granted for one minute.

Matt O'Sullivan

The coalition will support this motion. Ordinarily we are cautious about orders requiring the production of highly sensitive border and national security documents. However, the awarding of this contract has already been the subject of considerable coalition scrutiny, particularly through Senate estimates, given many worrying elements in the process behind it. Australians deserve confidence that the $4.32 billion aerial surveillance contract was awarded properly. We are pleased One Nation is now following the coalition's lead and the detailed work we have undertaken in pursuing transparency on this matter.

Sue Lines

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 538 standing in the name of Senator Roberts 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.
