Ms Spender explained that the [amendments](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2024-11-27.16.1) would: > *[require] the government to formally respond to any recommendations made by the independent review within six months of receiving it. It is a modest and commonsense amendment that reflects similar requirements in places like New South Wales, where the government of the day is required to provide a formal response to certain inquiries within six months. I understand that the government does not intend to support any amendments in the House, but I would request that the minister commits today to provide a formal response to the independent review as and when it is presented in a few years time.* ### Amendment text > *(1) Schedule 1, item 16, page 11 (after line 21), at the end of section 239B, add:* > >> *(4) If the report of the review sets out one or more recommendations to the Commonwealth Government, the Minister must, within 6 months after receiving the report:* >> >>> *(a) cause to be prepared a statement setting out:* >>> >>>> *(i) the Commonwealth Government's response to each of the recommendations; and* >>>> >>>> *(ii) if the Commonwealth Government has not accepted a recommendation—the reasons for not accepting the recommendation; and* >>> >>> *(b) cause copies of the statement to be tabled in each House of the Parliament.*
