3:28 pm
I seek leave to move a motion relating to the consideration of a matter. Has it been circulated?
Slade Brockman Deputy-President
It is in line for you to explain the motion.
Katy Gallagher ACT, Australian Labor Party, Minister for the Public Service
The motion I would move is that business of the Senate order of the day No. 1 be called on immediately and debated for no more than 30 minutes, after which the question be put.
Leave not granted.
Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow business of the Senate order of the day no. 1 to be called on immediately and be debated for no more than 30 minutes, after which the question be put.
And I move:
That the question be now put.
Slade Brockman Deputy-President
The question is that the question be now put.

The question now is that Senator Gallagher's motion to suspend standing orders be agreed to.
A division having been called and the bells being rung—
I will just note that I will allow a longer division if there is a change in voting positions as indicated by the whips. But it's one-minute divisions otherwise.
