MATTERS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Sterle ) (17:15): Senator Bragg has submitted a proposal, under standing order 75, today, as shown at item 14 on today's Order of Business: The Albanese Labor Government's failure to contain the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union's infiltration into residential housing construction is deepening Australia's housing affordability crisis and costing Australians the dream of home ownership.

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