MATTERS OF URGENCY

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator O'Neill ) (17:16): Senator McDonald has submitted a proposal under standing order 75 today. It's shown at item 16 on today's order of business: That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency: The Albanese Government must take immediate action to reject Scope 3 emissions forming any part of approvals processes and restore Australia's standing as a pro-mining, pro-industry country, before our prosperity suffers any more.

Is 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: I see that it is supported. With the concurrence of the Senate, the Clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
