Wendy Askew
At the request of Senator Bragg, I move:
That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Housing, by no later than midday on Wednesday, 4 March 2026, any documents that relate to Housing Australia's expenditure on furniture since November 2023.
Anthony Chisholm
by leave—I move:
Omit all words after "That", substitute:
(a) orders for the production of documents is one of the Senate's most serious powers, and should be used when other processes have been exhausted rather than for fishing expeditions; and
(b) senators seeking to order the production of documents should consider paragraph (a) and refine their orders accordingly.
Sue Lines
The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Chisholm to general business notice of motion No. 347, standing in the name of Senator Bragg, 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.
