I move:

That the remaining items listed at items 10, 11 and 12 on today's order of business be called on immediately till not later than 2 pm.

I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

I do not think the chamber will object to what has been proposed here. Given the number of notices of motion that we have today and the fact that it is probably unlikely that they will be concluded before we hit the hard marker of 12.45, in the event—which I think will be the case—that we finish non-controversial legislation before a lot of time expires, we would return after non-controversial legislation but before question time to the remaining notices of motion that may not be dealt with in the next 30 minutes.

Question agreed to.
