Pursuant to standing order 166(2), I seek an explanation from the Leader of the Government in the Senate as to why the government has not responded to the order for the production of documents contained in resolution No. 857 regarding the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and relating to documents from AIMS and the CSIRO.

This is a matter that is within the portfolio responsibility of Senator Cash, who, as you know, is overseas on official ministerial business. I will inquire and seek an explanation and get back to the chamber.
