That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Prime Minister, by no later than 5 pm on Wednesday, 27 August 2025, the final written report of the review of the Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Act 2021 by the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor.

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.
