At the request of Senator Paterson, I move:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, by no later than midday on Friday, 24 November 2023, any emails, file notes, briefing materials and other written correspondence provided to the Minister for Home Affairs, the Attorney General or the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs prepared in anticipation of the possibility of the High Court making a decision with respect to NZYQ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs & Anor, which found that sections of the Migration Act that had been interpreted to authorise the ongoing detention of the plaintiff NZYQ were beyond the legislative power of the Commonwealth.
