At the request of Senators Chisholm, Watt and Green, I move:

That the Senate notes—

(a) the decision by the Liberal National Party in Queensland to preference the Greens in the state seat of South Brisbane; and

(b) with concern:

  (i) that this decision increases the chances of a minority government in Queensland, and

  (ii) the Greens policies would do great economic damage to Queensland at a time when every job is vital as we look to recover from COVID-19.
