Production of documents

Kangaroo control

The Clerk: I table a letter from the Attorney-General dated 12 August 2024 in response to a resolution of the Council on 29 November 2023, on the motion of Ms Purcell, and further to the government’s initial responses on 6 February 2024 and 20 June 2024, relating to the kangaroo harvest management plan. The letter states that the government has identified a further 126 documents within the scope of the order and makes a claim of executive privilege over 20 documents in full and one document in part. The letter also states that these documents are provided as the second and final tranche of documents responsive to the order. I further table the 105 documents provided in full and one document provided in part, together with schedules of the identified documents.
