(b) orders the Minister to comply with the order by 2 pm on Thursday, 27 March 2014 or make a claim of public interest immunity which is in accordance with those accepted by the Senate; and

(c) in the event That the Minister fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (b), a senator may immediately move, without notice, a motion in relation to the Minister's failure to either comply or provide an acceptable claim of public interest immunity.
