Production of documents

Melbourne Airport rail link

The Clerk: I have received four responses to orders for the production of documents. Firstly, I table a letter from the Attorney-General dated 18 June 2024 in response to a resolution of the Council on 29 November 2023 on the motion of Mr Davis relating to the Commonwealth infrastructure review. The government has identified 36 documents within the scope of the order. The letter states that the government makes a claim of executive privilege over 22 documents in full and three documents in part. I further table 11 documents provided in full and three documents in part, together with the schedules of the identified documents.
