Senator Ruston has submitted a proposal, under standing order 75, today, as shown at item 12 of today's Order of Business:

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The need for the Albanese Government to immediately reverse its harmful treatment of older Australians, including its decision to gut the private health insurance rebate for Australians over 65, impose a flawed algorithm on aged care needs assessments with no capacity for human override and bury a so-called 'widow tax' in rushed legislation, which together demonstrate a profound disregard for the dignity, security and contribution of older Australians.

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.
