I move:
That—
(a) the Senate notes that:
(i) order for the production of documents no. 57, relating to the National Climate Risk Assessment and National Adaptation Plan, has not been complied with, and
(ii) the Senate has rejected the public interest immunity claim made by the Government in relation to the order; and
(b) until the Senate resolves that the order has been satisfactorily complied with, the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy be required to attend the Senate at the start of proceedings on the first day of each sitting week to provide an explanation of the failure to comply with the order, and that:
(i) any senator may move to take note of the explanation, and
(ii) any such motion may be debated for no longer than 30 minutes and shall have precedence over all other business until determined, and senators may speak to the motion for not more than 5 minutes each.
