I inform the Senate that the President has received the following letter, dated 22 November 2022, from Senator Hanson:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today Pauline Hanson's One Nation proposes to move: "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

"The need for the Senate to condemn the Premier of Victoria, Dan Andrews, for h is office's dealings and association with Glenn Druery who, it was reported this morning, admitted to using his position in a Senator's office for personal financial gain; and in light of revelations upper house group voting tickets are being used to misle ad voters to the unethical benefit of the Andrews Labor Government to affirm the Senate's support for free and fair elections with integrity."

Is the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

I understand that informal arrangements have been made to allocate specific times to each of the speakers in today's debate. With the concurrence of the Senate, I will ask the clerks to set the clock accordingly.
