I move:

That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of standing order 111 not apply to the following bills, allowing them to be considered during this period of sittings:

Aged Care and Other Legislation Amendment (Royal Commission Response) Bill 2022

Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment (Self-Employment Programs and Other Measures) Bill 2022.

I ask that we can take a vote on each bill.

Senator Lambie is asking for the Aged Care and Other Legislation Amendment (Royal Commission Response) Bill 2022 and the Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment (Self-Employment Programs and Other Measures) Bill 2022 to be split. I believe that can be accommodated. The question is that the motion as moved by Senator Gallagher that the Aged Care and Other Legislation Amendment (Royal Commission Response) Bill 2022 be exempt from the cut-off be agreed to.

Madam President, I've just been informed that is not coming up next week, the social security one. If that's not coming up next week, I do apologise. I've been misinformed. I withdraw that, sorry.

Just so we're clear, it's now my intention to go back to the motion as originally put by Senator Gallagher, to move those bills that are related to the exemption. So I'll move that. The question, as moved by the minister, Senator Gallagher, is that the motion be agreed to. Thank you for that clarification, Senator Lambie.

Question agreed to.
