Sue Lines
I'll now move to general business notice of motion No. 332, standing in the name of Senator Hume, which has already been moved by Senator Collins.
Anthony Chisholm
by leave—I move an amendment to the motion:
Omit all words after "That", insert "the Senate notes that:
(a) complying with an order to produce all question time briefs would irreparably damage the ability of Ministers to answer questions without notice; and
(b) the release of documents sought by orders to produce all question time briefs would likely change the way that all Government departments and agencies assist Ministers to prepare for question time and, indeed, all future occurrences of question time.
Sue Lines
The question is that the amendment as circulated to general business notice of motion No. 332 and as moved by Senator Chisholm 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.
