The Greens won't be supporting this order for the production of documents. To date, the Greens have regularly supported motions by the opposition requesting documents in the Treasury space, as spurious as some of those requests have seemed at the time. But let's be clear about what this is. It's an order calling for the release of documents relating to a bill that is currently before a Senate inquiry that has not yet closed for submissions and is yet to hold any hearings. We're going to wait for the Senate inquiry to at least take a couple of steps down the road before we start supporting OPDs like this.
