The government will opposing this motion. I understand Senator Liddle was offered assistance to identify any specific documents that she's looking for in response to this OPD.

I also note that Senator Liddle will have the opportunity next week to ask the questions that she wants of the NIAA and the Central Land Council. If Senator Liddle were serious about this issue, she would have taken up these constructive offers from the government.
