Title
Business — Rearrangement- Business - Rearrangement - Put the question
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent:</p><p class="italic">(1) debate on the second reading resuming immediately, with the time limit for Members speaking being 5 minutes; and</p><p class="italic">(2) the second reading debate continuing for no longer than 1 hour, after which the bill being passed through all its stages without delay.</p><p>I'd indicate that this is a contingent motion on the <i>Notice Paper</i> for the exact circumstances we face today, where there is an issue regarding security and where there is urgency in getting a bill across to the Senate. I respect the fact that that does put limits on some of the forms of the House that members would otherwise be able to use, but the government believes the nature of the legislation before us is the exact sort of circumstance where these procedures should be used.</p> <p class="speaker">Paul Fletcher</p><p>I'll be brief given the urgency. The opposition has significant concerns with the proposition that there not be the opportunity to move amendments at the consideration in detail stage, which is a consequence of the motion moved by the Leader of the House. Separately to that, I want to move as an amendment to the motion moved by the minister:</p><p class="italic">That all words after "immediately" in paragraph (1) be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:</p><p class="italic">"with the Leader of the Opposition and the Member for Wannon to each speak for up to 10 minutes, and the time limit for all other Members speaking being 5 minutes".</p> <p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p><p>Is the amendment seconded?</p> <p class="speaker">Kevin Hogan</p><p>I second the motion and reserve my right to speak.</p> <p class="speaker">Adam Bandt</p><p>I rise to speak on this motion to gag debate and rush a bill through parliament today when we've seen it for the first time today. Labor is dancing to the Liberal's tune. Labor is letting Peter Dutton write anti-refugee legislation—</p> <p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p><p>Order. The Leader of the Australian Greens will resume his seat. For the purposes of this debate, I would like you to refer to all members by their correct titles. I give the call to the Leader of the House on a point of order.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p><p>I refer to the urgency that we're dealing with here, and I move:</p><p class="italic">That the question be put.</p> <p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p><p>The question before the House is that the question be put.</p><p></p> -
