The secretariat of the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee (RRAT) confirmed yesterday that the long-awaited report into airport and aviation security is scheduled to be tabled on 30 March.
On 4 December 2014, the senate referred airport and aviation security to the RRAT with a reporting date of 26 April 2015.
Since then, the RRAT has been granted 10 extensions to the reporting date, complicated by the 2016 federal election, which caused the inquiry to lapse, then be re-referred in September 2016.
By the time the report is tabled, presuming another extension is not granted, it will be nearly two years since it was originally due.
Thursday 30 March is the last day the senate will sit for this term.
More information on the inquiry is on the RRAT parliament house website.
