Wendy Askew
At the request of Senator Bragg, I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that:
(i) order for the production of documents no. 198 agreed to by the Senate on 28 October 2025 and requesting that the Minister representing the Minister for Housing table the Housing Australia Board meeting minutes from September 2023 to October 2025, was only partially complied with,
(ii) the requested documents were significantly redacted and no basis for these redactions was provided, and
(iii) the release of the requested documents informs the effectiveness of a government agency to deliver an $80 billion housing agenda; and
(b) requires the Minister representing the Minister for Housing to comply with the order by no later than midday on Wednesday, 4 March 2026.
Anthony Chisholm
by leave—I move:
Paragraph (b), omit "comply with the order", substitute "provide a letter outlining the basis for the redactions".
Sue Lines
The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Chisholm to general business notice of motion no. 345 be agreed to.
