The government will not be supporting this motion. The government has acted on the advice of security agencies in relation to reporting the use of special purpose aircraft. Security agencies could not have been clearer when they said the level of information previously published was not fit for purpose. The Leader of the Opposition, himself, has said that security agencies are best placed to complete the threat assessments in relation to the security of politicians and their families. Unlike those opposite, who stopped all reporting on the use of special purpose aircraft, without reason, we have restarted publishing. We are publishing information that is safe to publish and that reflects the advice of security agencies.

Question agreed to.
