I seek leave to make a very, very short statement.

A very, very short statement is agreed to, Senator Scarr—no more than a minute.

The coalition supports the publication of this report but notes that, in any event, it is due to be tabled on or around 1 September, and on that basis does not consider the order as necessary at this point in time.

Question agreed to.
