Senator McKim has submitted a proposal under standing order 75 today, as shown at item 13 of today's Order of Business:

The need for the Government to rule out deploying Australian military personnel in the Middle East as part of the US and Israeli illegal war with Iran, noting that the Australian public does not support joining another US forever war, and the growing global concerns about its dangerous escalation.

Is consideration of 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.
