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. 357, agreed to on 4 March 2026, relating to the Race Discrimination Commissioner; and

(b) requires the Minister representing the Prime Minister to comply with the order by no later than 5 pm on 30 March 2026.

It is similar to the one for the last motion. The government has 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.

Question agreed to.
