At the request of Senator Rice, I move general business notice of motion No. 219:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Assistant Treasurer, by 28 November 2019:

(a) a copy of the unused census test form, including new questions on gender and sexuality;

(b) any analysis undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as to whether these questions contribute to an understanding of the health needs, outcomes and wellbeing of the LGBTIQ+ community; and

(c) any communications between Ministers or their offices and the Australian Bureau of Statistics in relation to these questions.
