I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) the Senate passed the Australian Greens' National Integrity Commission Bill 2018 (No. 2) (NIC Bill) on 9 September 2019,

(ii) the NIC Bill was introduced to the House of Representatives on 10 September 2019, and

(iii) further Senate resolutions on 10 February 2020 and 15 June 2020 called on the House of Representatives to debate the NIC Bill, but the bill has yet to be debated;

(b) calls on the Federal Government to bring on the NIC Bill in the House of Representatives for immediate debate; and

(c) transmits this resolution to the House of Representatives for concurrence.

Leave is granted for one minute.

One Nation very strongly supports the intent for an independent parliamentary inquiry mechanism. However, we don't support the Greens' method of doing so.

The question is that the motion be agreed to.
