I, and also on behalf of Senator Shoebridge, move:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, by midday on 5 March 2026, the complete unedited version of the 'independent audit of the Defence estate' as provided to the Government in December 2023.

Anthony Chisholm

Anthony Chisholm Queensland, Australian Labor Party, Assistant Minister for Regional Development

by leave—I move:

Omit all words after "That", substitute "the Senate notes that the 'Delivering the future estate: Defence estate audit report' and the government response were publicly released on 4 February 2026".

The question is that the amendment, as moved by Senator Chisholm, be agreed to. A division is required. We'll move that one down.
