David Shoebridge
I move:
That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, by no later than Tuesday, 28 July 2026, a full copy of the report, provided to the minister in 2023, of the review led by Mr Steven Grzeskowiak into determining a location suitable for the storage and disposal of high-level nuclear waste.
Jonathon Duniam
I seek leave to make a short statement.
Sue Lines
Leave is granted for one minute.
Jonathon 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.
Sue Lines
The question is that general business notice of motion No. 562, standing in the name of Senator Shoebridge, 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.
