I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that the Minister representing the Attorney-General has failed to comply with order for the production of documents no. 322, agreed to on 4 February 2026, relating to the establishment of a Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion;
(b) further notes that the Attorney-General has made a public interest immunity claim (PII claim) on the ground that disclosure of some documents captured by the order would reveal Cabinet deliberations; and
(c) requires the Minister representing the Attorney-General to table a document which identifies, for each document which has been withheld under the PII claim, the name (or a short description of the document if untitled), date and type of the document, as well as an explanation of the specific harm that would be caused by releasing the document, by no later than midday on 16 March 2026.
Question agreed to.
