(b) if the order is not fully complied with by midday on Wednesday, 25 March 2026:

(i) the Minister representing the Treasurer attend the Senate on Thursday, 26 March 2026, immediately before government business is called on, to provide an explanation, of no more than 5 minutes, of the failure to fully comply with the order, and

(ii) any senator may move to take note of the explanation (5 minutes per speaker; 30 minutes overall).

As an update to the Senate, since the compliance motion was circulated last sitting week, the Treasurer has tabled all relevant documents suitable for release in relation to Senator Smith's original OPD.

Question agreed to.
