I move:

That paragraph (a) of the temporary order agreed to on 18 June 2020 relating to the consideration of formal motions be varied to provide that:

(a) minor party and independent senators are entitled to six motions per day;

(b) senators can make (or have made on their behalf) any number of requests for formality in any sitting week;

(c) orders for the production of documents are excluded from the restrictions under the temporary order; and

(d) motions not determined on the day that they are listed for consideration will be re-listed on the next sitting day and will be excluded from the restrictions under the temporary order.

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 915, standing in the name of Senator Waters, be agreed to.
