I table a response in relation to Senate order for the production of documents No. 430, moved by Senator Waters and Senator Rice and agreed to by the Senate on 11 February 2020. In relation to the order itself, the government requires more time to prepare a response to the order and intends to table its response to the Senate by no later than 3 pm on Monday 24 February 2020. As I outlined in the chamber earlier this week, it is not uncommon for governments of both persuasions to require additional time to conduct a thorough and exhaustive search for all relevant documents, especially given the order contains 11 separate subparagraphs. I thank the Senate.
