Unfortunately, we've now got almost half an hour less time to continue to review this legislation that is going to be guillotined. Between the efforts of both the Greens and the ALP, we now have significantly less time to debate and find out answers around this bill. There are still many, many issues that need to be reviewed and examined further and have clarity achieved. Unfortunately, I fear now, for some of those things, we're going to run out of time. So well done to those at that end of the chamber, who just made a hoo-ha out of not being able to read the Senate Order of Business and see when documents and reports are presented, every week in this place, of a Thursday afternoon. Anyway, never let the truth get in the way of a Greens suspension motion.

Minister, I draw your attention to sheet SK118, on the list of government amendments that have been circulated. In amending item (4), the proposed section (3) says:

A claim must:

(a) be made in the approved form (if any); and

(b) include any information, and be accompanied by any documents, required by the CEO.

What sort of documentation could be requested by the CEO? There's no guidance here as to what that documentation or information may be. Again, I'm trying to seek some clarity here. Are there any limitations on what the CEO can require? What are the sorts of documents that are imagined to be required by the CEO in order for someone to be able to submit an invoice to be paid?
