Treasury Laws Amendment (Doubling Penalties for ACCC Enforcement) Bill 2026, Fair Work Amendment (Fairer Fuel) Bill 2026

Mr SMALL (Forrest—Opposition Whip) (12:52): I move an amendment to the amendment moved by Ms Watson-Brown, as circulated in my name: That all words after "whilst" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words: "not declining to give the Fair Work Amendment (Fairer Fuel) Bill 2026 a second reading, the House: (1) notes the Leader of the House has previously stated that the reason Governments rush legislation is because 'they don't want there to be a debate in the people's house about the impact of this legislation'; (2) notes the Government's shameful opportunism in preventing the House's consideration of the Fair Work Amendment (Fairer Fuel) Bill 2026, or the impact of the legislation; and (3) calls on the Government to explain why these provisions for a temporary crisis are permanent".

The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Dr Garland ): Is the amendment seconded? Mr Chaffey: I second the amendment and reserve my right to speak.
