At the request of Senator Bragg, I move:
That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Housing, by no later than midday on Thursday, 5 March 2026, aggregate data of users accessing the Home Guarantee Scheme after 1 October 2024, including:
(a) the user's age bracket, income decile, household income and occupation group;
(b) the purchase price of the property;
(c) whether the user was a single or joint borrower; and
(d) the user's loan-to-value ratio.

by leave—I move an amendment as follows:
Omit all words after "That", substitute:
(a) orders for the production of documents is one of the Senate's most serious powers, and should be used when all other processes have been exhausted; and
(b) Senator Bragg has been offered a briefing by the Minister for Housing.

The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Green to general business notice of motion No. 372, standing in the name of Senator Bragg, be agreed to. Is a division required? We will defer that until tomorrow.
