Senate debates Documents
Prime Minister; Order for the Production of Documents
Jenny McAllister NSW, Australian Labor Party, Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme

I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 356.
Leave granted.
I move an amendment to the motion:
Omit all words after "That", substitute:
(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.
