I move an amendment to the motion:

Omit all words after "That", substitute:

"on Tuesday, 5 December 2023—

(a) the hours of meeting be 9.30 am till adjournment;

(b) the routine of business from 9.30 am till 1.30 pm be as follows:

(i) government business only,

(ii) at midday, Nature Repair Market Bill 2023 and a related bill, and

(iii) government business only;

(c) the routine of business from not later than 5.30 pm be consideration of the following bills:

(i) Nature Repair Market Bill 2023

Nature Repair Market (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2023,

(ii) Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee Bill 2023,

(iii) Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) Bill 2023

Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2023,

(iv) Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share—Integrity and Transparency) Bill 2023, and

(v) Infrastructure Australia Amendment (Independent Review) Bill 2023;

(d) the questions be put on the bills, as follows:

(i) at 6.30 pm—second reading of the Nature Repair Market Bill 2023 and a related bill, and

(ii) at 8.30 pm—all remaining stages of the bills listed in paragraph (c);

(e) paragraph (d) operate as a limitation of debate under standing order 142;

(f) divisions may take place after 6.30 pm; and

(g) the Senate adjourn without debate after consideration of the bills has concluded."

Essentially, the purpose of this amendment is that, at the end of the opposition's proposal, we would then move to the Nature Repair Market Bill 2023, the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee Bill 2023, the tobacco bills that we've been debating, being the Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) Bill 2023 and the Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2023, and the Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share—Integrity and Transparency) Bill 2023 but not the Infrastructure Australia Amendment (Independent Review) Bill 2023 as listed, because that would have been dealt with in the opposition's motion. The purpose of this amendment is also that Senator Birmingham's motion follow sections (b) to (e) of the government's amendment, which would effectively mean that we deal with those bills by about 8.30 pm tomorrow.
