Text recorded with this division

Fatima Payman

I move:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister for Industry and Innovation, by no later than 5 pm on Wednesday, 25 February 2026, copies of all ministerial submissions, records of conversation, letters, briefing notes, meeting agendas, file notes, meeting invitations, meeting notes, meeting minutes, emails and instant/electronic messages between the Minister for Industry and Innovation and/or his office, the Department of Industry, Science and Resources and the National Artificial Intelligence Centre in relation to the decision to no longer proceed with the establishment of an artificial intelligence advisory body.

Anthony Chisholm

I seek leave to make a short statement.

Sue Lines

Leave is granted for one minute.

Anthony Chisholm

The government will be opposing this motion. A briefing has been offered on this issue, and I understand that has not yet been accepted.

Sue Lines

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 314 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.
