At the request of Senators Cash and Paterson, I move:

That, following the passage of the bill, the following matter be referred to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security for inquiry and report by 14 March 2024:

The operation, effectiveness and implications of the amendments made by the Australian Citizenship Amendment (Citizenship Repudiation) Bill 2023.

The question before the Senate is that the motion moved by Senator Askew, standing in the names of Senators Cash and Paterson, regarding a reference to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, be agreed to.
