I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that:
(i) corruption in any sector of society is unacceptable and threatens the fabric of our democracy, and
(ii) the Government's attempt to legislate the Australian Building and Construction Commission is not about corruption, but the enforcement of anti-worker laws; and
(b) calls on the Government to immediately legislate to establish a national Anti-Corruption Commission to address corruption among public officials and politicians that threatens the fabric of our democracy.
Claire Moore Queensland, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Women
I have a question around the motion in terms of the formality. My understanding is that the motion that we moved meant that there was no request about formality.
Stephen Parry President
Thank you, Senator Moore. That is a good clarification. We will deal with them without seeking formality and follow the order. We will go down each item. That motion has now been moved. You did move that Senator Di Natale?
Stephen Parry President
The question is that notice of motion No. 1117 be agreed to.
