MATTERS OF URGENCY

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Colbeck ) (16:55): The Senate will now consider the proposal from Senator McKenzie, which is shown at item 12 on today's Order of Business: The Albanese Government's failure to manage fuel supply and distribution, resulting in fuel shortages and service stations running out of fuel, adding to the cost of living pressures already being faced by Australian families and small businesses.

Is the 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 by the whips.
