Senator Henderson has submitted a proposal, under standing order 75, today. It has been circulated and is shown on the Dynamic Red:
Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:
"The Albanese Government's Budget is full of broken promises, higher taxes, more debt, lower living standards and fewer homes for Australians, with Labor's economic mismanagement locking the nation into a decade of deficits that every Australian will be forced to pay for."
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 the informal arrangements made by the whips.
