<p>I move the motion as amended:</p><p class="italic">That the Senate—</p><p class="italic">(a) notes that on 25 October 2017, the then Minister for Jobs and Small Business (Senator Cash) told a supplementary Budget estimates hearing that her media adviser, Mr De Garis, had received information that raids on the AWU may take place 'from a media source';</p><p class="italic">(b) further notes that, in court proceedings on 12 February 2019, Mr De Garis has now named the Minister's then-Chief of Staff as the source of the information; and</p><p class="italic">(c) orders the Minister for Small and Family Business, Skills and Vocational Education, to attend the Senate at 2 pm on Thursday, 14 February 2019, prior to questions being called on, to make a statement of not more than five minutes to explain this apparent inconsistency.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>There was another amendment circulated. I'm assuming that's not going to be moved. The question is that motion no. 1384, as amended, be agreed to.</p>
