I am asking for leave to table a document. Is this the right time?

Catryna Bilyk

Catryna Bilyk Tasmania, Australian Labor Party

You can seek leave, Senator Payman. Is leave granted?

Katy Gallagher

Katy Gallagher ACT, Australian Labor Party, Minister for the Public Service

We're happy to work offline with Senator Payman and have a look at what documents she seeks to table, but normal custom would be that those documents are shown to party leaders or representatives and then we would give leave. That is the normal process.

So, Senator Payman, perhaps you would like to—

Denied!

We don't need commentary from anyone else. Senator Payman, perhaps you would like to talk to the leaders, and you can table it later on.

It was just in response to Senator Hanson and is the advice.

No, Senator Payman, it's not a debate now. If you want to talk to people offline, it can be sorted. Thank you. Pursuant to order, I call on Minister Gallagher to provide an explanation.
