The President has received the following letter from Senator McKim:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today the Australian Greens propose to move "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

That women in Australia deserve genuine progress on women's safety, health and economic security, including:

              the country

              all of which could be funded with $254 billion in savings from scrapping the Stage 3 tax cuts, which mostly benefit rich men".

              Is the proposal supported?

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

              With the concurrence of the Senate, the clerks will set the clocks in line with the informal arrangements made by whips. I call Senator Waters.
