I seek leave to move a motion relating to the consideration of legislation.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice of motion, I move:

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion relating to consideration of legislation to be moved and determined immediately.

And I move:

That the question be now put.

Could I ask that you please put the question separately in relation to 1(d)(x), the Customs Tariff Amendment (Geelong Treaty Implementation) Bill?

Sue Lines (President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I will put the rest of the motion first and then 1(d)(x) that you referred to. The question is that the motion, as moved by the minister, without 1(d)(x), be agreed to.

Sue Lines (President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
