I table documents relating to orders for the production of documents concerning the Great Barrier Reef, the 2026 census and Defence workplace behaviour.

Senator Canavan, are you seeking to take note of the ministerial statement?

Matthew Canavan

Matthew Canavan Queensland, Liberal National Party

I rise to take note of general business notice of motion No. 608, order for the production of documents, on Tamboran Resource. It was due to be tabled last week, on 12 September. My advice is that it has not been tabled and that I could speak about that delay in this section.

Deborah O'Neill

Deborah O'Neill NSW, Australian Labor Party

To be clear, Senator Canavan, I am advised that the only matters that could be spoken about are the matters that have just been addressed to the chamber by the minister.

Matthew Canavan

Matthew Canavan Queensland, Liberal National Party

That's not what I was advised. Okay. Thank you.

Deborah O'Neill

Deborah O'Neill NSW, Australian Labor Party

We can seek further clarification offline, but that is my advice at this point in time.
