Administrative Review Tribunal (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2024

Senator CHISHOLM (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Assistant Minister for Education, Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Deputy Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (10:52): The government will be opposing this amendment. The TEMPORARY CHAIR ( Senator Sterle ): Senator Shoebridge, a point of order? Senator Shoebridge: The chamber seems to be in some sort of procedural miasma this morning.

My understanding is that the amendment just passed on the voices. Then we had the government stand up and say they 'will be' opposing it, as though it's something in the future they're going to do. You just nodded.

It's all somewhat confusing for those of us trying to follow what's going on. The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Sorry, I thought I—Senator Scarr? Senator Scarr: Maybe we should just walk through it again for the benefit of everyone.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Yes. Let's go. You've got the call.
