My question is to the Minister for Defence, Senator Reynolds. Under the guidelines for special purpose aircraft flights—otherwise known as the VIP flights—the minister is required to table schedules every six months. Under this government, they have routinely been tabled late. Two weeks ago, the Senate ordered the Minister for Defence to table the schedule for VIP flights for the period ending June 2019. Why is this minister continuing to disregard that order?
