by leave—I move:

Omit all words after "That", substitute "the Senate notes that:

(a) page 662 of Odgers' Australian Senate Practice 14th edition states 'It has long been recognised that there is information held by government that it would not be in the public interest to disclose'; and

(b) it is not appropriate for senators to propose orders for the production of documents where documents must be produced 'without redaction'".
