I table documents relating to orders for the production of documents concerning the Great Barrier Reef, the 2026 census and Defence workplace behaviour.

Senator Canavan, are you seeking to take note of the ministerial statement?

I rise to take note of general business notice of motion No. 608, order for the production of documents, on Tamboran Resource. It was due to be tabled last week, on 12 September. My advice is that it has not been tabled and that I could speak about that delay in this section.

To be clear, Senator Canavan, I am advised that the only matters that could be spoken about are the matters that have just been addressed to the chamber by the minister.

That's not what I was advised. Okay. Thank you.

We can seek further clarification offline, but that is my advice at this point in time.
