The Senate will now consider the proposal from Senator David Pocock, which is also shown at item 13 on today's Order of Business:

The need for the government to legislate to redirect uncontracted export gas into the domestic market and bring down the price of gas and electricity for Australian industry and households, to recognise that Australian gas is for Australian households and businesses.
