  • <p>I seek leave to make a short statement.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p>
  • <p>Is leave granted? Leave is granted for one minute.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">James McGrath</p>
  • <p>The government is happy to table the review scope of work. CSIRO has been very transparent about these matters already and, in particular, with its staff. The government opposes the motion as all key information is already publicly available. I table the review scope of work comprising the work order request and the service requirements.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Rice as amended be agreed to.</p>
