The Senate will now consider the proposal received from Senator Chandler:

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

"The mounting need for Australia to deliver a further package of military, humanitarian and energy assistance to Ukraine, especially given the failure of the recent Budget to provide any new support and Australia's slippage in support relative to likeminded partners."

Is the proposal supported?

With the concurrence of the Senate, the clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
