Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment (Building Cooperative Workplaces No. 1) Bill 2026

The SPEAKER (17:47): The question before the House is the bill be agreed to. In accordance with the resolution agreed to yesterday, the question now is the amendments circulated by the member for Wentworth be agreed to. Before I call the member for Wentworth, I'll just explain to the House that we did receive identical amendments from the member for Wannon and the member for Wentworth.

The member for Wentworth's amendments were the first to be circulated, so this means they will be dealt with first, as are the traditions and customs of the House. When the House has made a decision on the member for Wentworth's amendments, the member for Wannon's amendments may not be considered by the House, because they're the same piece of work. That's in accordance with standing order 150(e)—if people want to follow where we're at, that's what we're dealing with—and House of Representatives Practice on page 299 and page 375.

Member for Wentworth 's circulated amendment s — (1) Schedule 1, Part 9, page 18 (line 1) to page 21 (line 25), omit the Part. [exemption from general protections in certain circumstances] (2) Schedule 1, item 62, page 26 (lines 8 to 15), omit Division 7. [exemption from general protections in certain circumstances]
