I move:

That—

(a) government business orders of the day as shown on today's order of business, except for the Aged Care (Single Quality Framework) Reform Bill 2018, be considered from 12.45 pm today and that order of the day no. 6 (Veterans' Affairs Legislation Amendment (Veteran-centric Reforms No. 2) Bill 2018) be called on first; and

(b) government business be called on after consideration of the bills listed in paragraph (a) and considered till not later than 2 pm today.

For the convenience of senators, I indicate that the effect of this motion is to give effect to the order proposed in the amendment circulated in the name of Senator Wong for non-controversial business today. We assume that's an indication from the opposition of the priority they place on seeing the veteran-centric reforms passed through this parliament, and we of course are happy and eager to see them passed as well.
