The government will be opposing this motion. The government has been transparent in making clear to the Senate in writing and in statements that this review will be released when consultations have concluded with stakeholders, including Defence, other agencies and the families of ADF personnel who have lost their lives while serving.

Offers for Senator Lambie to be briefed and to read the review remain. Motions of this nature are not constructive for the Senate's ability to scrutinise the government's legislative program. Other avenues exist under the standing orders to raise these matters.
