Kangaroo control

The Clerk: Secondly, 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 Ms Purcell relating to the kangaroo harvest management plan. The letter states that the government proposes to deliver responses to the documents in two tranches, with the second tranche to be produced within approximately six weeks. The letter further states that the government has so far identified 128 documents within the scope of the order and makes a claim of executive privilege over four documents in full and two documents in part. I further table 122 documents provided in full and two documents provided in part, together with schedules of the identified documents.
