Senator McDonald has submitted a proposal under standing order 75 today. It's shown at item 16 on today's order of business:
That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:
The Albanese Government must take immediate action to reject Scope 3 emissions forming any part of approvals processes and restore Australia's standing as a pro-mining, pro-industry country, before our prosperity suffers any more.
Is consideration of the proposal supported?
More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—
I see that it is supported. With the concurrence of the Senate, the Clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
