GALLAGHER (—) (): by leave—I move:

That—

(1) The hours of meeting on Monday, 28 November 2022 be from 10 am till adjournment, and the routine of business from 8 pm be government business only for the consideration of the National Anti-Corruption Commission Bill 2022 and the National Anti-Corruption Commission (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2022 (second reading speeches only).

(2) The Senate adjourn without debate after the second reading debate has concluded on the bills listed in paragraph (1), or on the motion of a minister, whichever is earlier.

(3) In accordance with standing order 57(3), divisions may not take place after 6.30 pm.

This has been designed to facilitate the contributions on the National Anti-Corruption Commission Bill 2022. Some senators will not be required to be here, although they should see their whips about whether or not they are allowed to leave. I thank the opposition, the Greens and the crossbench for their support in facilitating that debate tonight.

Question agreed to.
