Text recorded with this division

Fatima Payman

I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that the Leader of the Government in the Senate has failed to comply with order for the production of documents no. 671, agreed to on 9 September 2026, relating to outstanding answers to questions on notice for the month of September 2026; and

(b) requires the Leader of the Government in the Senate to table the statements required by the order for September 2026, by no later than midday on 16 October 2026.

Sue Lines

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 806, standing in the name of Senator Payman, 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.
