Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
12:30 pm
I ask leave of the House to present a bill for an act to re-establish the Australian Building and Construction Commission and for related purposes.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
Mr Speaker, to get on with the substantive debate rather than the procedural one, we will grant leave so that we can have the debate on the issue itself.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
I am very grateful to the Manager of Opposition Business—surprised and grateful. I present the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Bill 2013 [No. 2] and the explanatory memorandum.
Bill read a first time.
