Home Guarantee Scheme

Jessica Collins

At the request of Senator Bragg, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) order for the production of documents no. 119, agreed to on 27 August 2025, requesting that the Minister representing the Treasurer table any correspondence or documents relating to modelling done by the Treasury regarding the contingent liability taxpayers are being exposed to and the total budgetary cost of Labor's expansion of the Home Guarantee Scheme was only partially complied with,

(ii) the tabled documents contained significant redactions and do not provide the requested information to an acceptable standard, and

(iii) the Prime Minister has previously referred to the conducted modelling in public forums, making the claim of Cabinet deliberations irrelevant;

(b) rejects the public interest immunity claims put forward by the Minister for Housing of Cabinet deliberations; and

(c) requires the Minister representing the Minister for Housing to comply with the order by no later than 9 am on Thursday, 5 February 2026.

Anthony Chisholm

by leave—I move:

Omit paragraph (a), insert:

(a) notes that the Government has provided a response to order for the production of documents no. 119.

Omit paragraph (c), insert:

(c) requires no further action from the Minister representing the Minister for Housing or the Minister representing the Treasurer.

The question is that the amendments as moved by Minister Chisholm to general business notice of motion No. 330 be agreed to.
