The government will not support this motion. The government's deep concern about PwC's conduct is well known, evidenced by the Treasury secretary's referral to the Australian Federal Police. The production of documents sought by this motion has the potential to prejudice the AFP's current assessment of that referral and any potential legal action that follows. It is not in the public interest for this motion to succeed. I urge those opposite to carefully consider the consequences of ordering documents that relate to a police referral.

Question agreed to.
