At the request of Senator Hanson-Young, I move:

That—

(a) the Senate rejects the Minister for Climate Change and Energy's claim of public interest immunity, outlined in a letter received by the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee on 1 March 2023, in relation to documents and modelling that would demonstrate the forecast use of Australian carbon credit units because this information would not in any way disclose the deliberations of Cabinet ministers; and

(b) there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Wong, by 4 pm on Thursday, 9 March 2023, the documents and modelling relied on for the forecast usage of Australian carbon credit units over the decade to 2030.

Question agreed to.
