The government opposes this motion as unnecessary and a waste of the Senate's time. The Attorney-General tabled answers to the outstanding questions on notice on 23 and 24 March. Those answers included a comprehensive explanation of the basis of the claims of public interest immunity, referring to well settled legal principles.
