Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (15:43): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator GALLAGHER: The government will not be supporting this motion.

We are building social licence in regional Australia by working directly with communities, industries and the sector. In March, we opened the Developer Rating Scheme, a key recommendation of the Community Engagement Review, which lets renewable energy developers and transmission companies begin the assessment process. What we need now is to get on with the work of building social licence, not launch another review.

The PRESIDENT: The question is that business of the Senate motion No. 2 standing in the name of Senator Cadell be agreed to.
