Mr President, I seek leave to table a document.

Leave granted.

I thank the Senate very much for its courtesy. I indicated after question time today that I hoped I would be in a position to table the inquiry officer’s report into suspected illegal entry vessel 36. I indicated that, although this report had already been released by the coroner, I was keen to comply with a commitment I gave in the Senate last year to Senator Ferguson, and I am now able to table the report. I thank the Senate again for allowing me to do so during the adjournment debate.
