BUSINESS

Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (09:46): I seek leave to move a motion relating to consideration of a motion concerning the domestic gas reserve, as circulated. Leave granted. Senator HANSON: I move: That: (a) the consideration of private senators' bills not proceed today; and (b) instead the question be put on the following motion after 70 minutes of debate.

The motion reads as follows: That the Senate: (a) notes that: (i) Australian gas should benefit Australians first; and (ii) the petroleum resource rent tax has fundamentally failed to properly tax gas exports and must be changed to apply to production volume; and (b) calls on the Government to subject all gas production to a 15% minimum domestic reserve.
