The opposition has been assured by the government that its public interest immunity claim is justified on cabinet confidentiality and national security grounds. As a party of government, the coalition respects these grounds for PII claims. The government has also assured the opposition that an appropriately redacted version of the report in question would effectively be of the same utility as the publicly available version on the Defence website. As such, the coalition does not support this motion.
