MATTERS OF URGENCY

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT (16:32): Senator Dean Smith has submitted a proposal under standing order 75: Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today I propose to move "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency: "The latest Living Cost Index, which shows cost of living is up 19.4% since Labor came to power, confirms what Australians see every day: hardworking families and businesses are struggling under an Albanese Labor Government that has pursued the wrong priorities and made the wrong decisions, demonstrating that Australians can't afford 3 more years of Labor" Is the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: With the concurrence of the Senate, the clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
