Does any senator wish to have that question put?

by leave—I made a statement in the Senate on 26 November 2015 regarding notice of motion 964, moved by Senator O'Neill. The statement I made was correct based on the advice I had received at that time. I have subsequently been advised that there are in fact documents recording contacts between the Australian government and the New South Wales government concerning the old Gosford Public School site. This is the first opportunity available to me to correct the record, and I take this opportunity to do so. These documents will be released in accordance with the motion agreed by the Senate last week. The minister will write to the President of the Senate regarding timing of the release of the documents.
