Senate debates Documents
Minister for Communications; Order for the Production of Documents
Katy Gallagher ACT, Australian Labor Party, Minister for the Public Service

I move the amendment:
Omit all words after "That", insert:
(a) orders for the production of documents is one of the Senate's most serious powers, and should be used when other processes have been exhausted rather than for fishing expeditions; and
(b) senators seeking to order the production of documents should consider paragraph (a) and refine their orders accordingly.
