Pursuant to contingent notice No. 2, 'Conduct of business', and at the request of the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Evans, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Evans moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the consideration of the Family Assistance and Other Legislation Amendment (Schoolkids Bonus Budget Measures) Bill 2012.

I move this as part of a procedure to allow me to move government business notice of motion No. 1 for today. The government's aim is to organise the business of the Senate for tomorrow so that the chamber can debate the Family Assistance and Other Legislation Amendment (Schoolkids Bonus Budget Measures) Bill 2012 so that payments can be made to families.
