by leave—I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following items of private Members' business being reported from the Main Committee, or called on, and considered immediately in the following order:

Criteria for independent youth allowance—Order of the day No. 23;

Malaysia asylum seekers proposal—Order of the day No. 21;

Greater Western Sydney Conservation Corridor—Report from Main Committee;

Death of Mr Greg McNicol—Report from Main Committee; and

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme—Report from Main Committee.

The Selection Committee determined that eight items of private members' business were to be voted on. As Leader of the House I am putting forward five this Thursday. That means the remaining three items will be put to a vote on the next sitting Thursday, which is next week.

Question agreed to.
