Senator Bragg has submitted a proposal, under standing order 75, today, which is shown at item 15 of today's Order of Business:

The Albanese Government's Productivity Roundtable was a taxpayer-funded talkfest with the only output being an adoption of Coalition policy on the National Construction Code, with no business confidence measures, no strategy to reduce red tape or power prices, and no relief for small businesses and households struggling under Labor's economic mismanagement, while continuing to back superannuation funds as corporate landlords instead of helping Australians own their own home.

Is consideration of 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 clock in line with informal arrangements made by the whips.
