(ii) despite the Senate rejecting, in whole or in part, both of the Treasurer's stated grounds for the withholding of the requested documents from the Senate, no further documents have been tabled in relation to this order, and

(iii) a sample of the data from the survey was publicly released as part of the survey review report; and

(b) requires the Minister representing the Treasurer to attend the Senate on 6 November 2025, at the conclusion of question time, to provide an explanation of no more than 5 minutes of the failure to comply with the order, and that:

(i) any senator may move to take note of the explanation, and
