I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that the Minister representing the Prime Minister has failed to comply with order for the production of documents no. 356, agreed to on 4 March 2026, relating to the National Anti-Racism Framework; and
(b) requires the Minister representing the Prime Minister to comply with the order by no later than 5 pm on 30 March 2026.

The government tabled the response to this order this morning, and a copy has been provided to the senator. On that basis, the government opposes the motion.

I seek leave to call off the division. I'm happy to have the government's opposition to that motion recorded.
Leave granted; question agreed to.
