Housing

The Clerk: Secondly, I table a letter from the Attorney-General dated 29 July 2024 in response to a resolution of the Council on 15 November 2023 on the motion of Dr Ratnam relating to the redevelopment of high-rise public housing sites. The letter clarifies that the response to this order tabled on 20 June 2024 was a response to categories (a) to (i) of the order, excluding email correspondence, and relates to documents in existence as at 15 November 2023. I further table a schedule of the 146 documents that the government has previously made a claim of executive privilege over in full.

Sarah Mansfield: On a point of order, President, there was a documents motion passed by this place on 15 May regarding agreements between the Victorian government and Elbit Systems and the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Those documents were due on 12 June, and we have not yet received a response.

The PRESIDENT: I will get the minister at the bench to follow that up with her colleagues.
