Wendy Askew

I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 382 relating to the Home Guarantee Scheme.

Leave granted.

At the request of Senator Bragg, I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) on 27 August 2025, the Senate agreed to order for the production of documents no. 119, relating to the Home Guarantee Scheme, requiring the Minister representing the Treasurer to comply with the order by no later than midday on Tuesday, 2 September 2025,

(ii) on 2 September 2025, the Minster representing the Treasurer provided an interim response from the Treasurer asking for more time to comply with the order,

(iii) on 28 October 2025, the Senate agreed to a further order requiring the minister to comply with the original order by midday on Wednesday, 29 October 2025,

(iv) on 29 October 2025, the Minister representing the Minister for Housing provided an interim response from the Minister for Housing, again requesting more time to comply with the order,

(v) on 23 December 2025, the Minister representing the Minister for Housing provided two documents with redactions and raised a public interest immunity claim on the grounds that some information within the scope of the order discloses Cabinet deliberations,

(vi) on 4 February 2026, the Senate agreed to a motion rejecting the public interest immunity claim and requiring the minister to comply with the order by 9 am on 5 February 2026, and

(vii) the order has still not been complied with; and

(b) requires that the Minister representing the Minister for Housing attend the Senate after motions to take note of answers on Thursday, 5 March 2026 to provide an explanation, of no more than 5 minutes, of the failure to comply with the order, and that:

(i) any senator may move to take note of the explanation, and

(ii) any such motion may be debated for no longer than 30 minutes and shall have precedence over all other business until determined, and senators may speak to the motion for not more than 5 minutes each.

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 382 standing in the name of Senator Bragg as amended 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.
