I move an amendment to the amendment moved by Ms Watson-Brown, as circulated in my name:

That all words after "whilst" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"not declining to give the Fair Work Amendment (Fairer Fuel) Bill 2026 a second reading, the House:

(1) notes the Leader of the House has previously stated that the reason Governments rush legislation is because 'they don't want there to be a debate in the people's house about the impact of this legislation';

(2) notes the Government's shameful opportunism in preventing the House's consideration of the Fair Work Amendment (Fairer Fuel) Bill 2026, or the impact of the legislation; and

(3) calls on the Government to explain why these provisions for a temporary crisis are permanent".
