Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Sheldon</p>
  • <p>Mr President, I congratulate you on your election to the position of President. I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the time for the presentation of the report of the Select Committee on Job Security be extended to the last sitting day in February 2022.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Malcolm Roberts</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to make a short statement.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Slade Brockman</p>
  • <p>Leave is granted for one minute.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Malcolm Roberts</p>
  • <p>We support Senator Sheldon's motion. Firstly, we do so because Labor has ignored the casuals and their plight in this country. It tried to suppress me in speaking about this and raising these issues. We prevailed and we're still working on those issues. Secondly, the Labor Party, the Liberal Party, the National Party and the Greens all support 2050 net zero. Maybe the Nationals are wavering at last and coming to their senses, but the Greens, as I've said many times, have not provided the empirical scientific evidence needed to justify this, yet they still want to go ahead with this job killer.</p>
  • <p>We appeal to Senator Sheldon to include consideration about these disastrous climate policies in this job security assessment inquiry. We also raise the fact that the IPA has signalled a massive job loss. More than 50 per cent of the job losses will come from the agricultural sector and will hit regional Australia. This is urgently needed. We commend Senator Sheldon.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Slade Brockman</p>
  • <p>PRESIDENT (): The question is that the motion be agreed to.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • <p></p>
  • <p>That concludes formal business, unless I&#8217;ve missed something, which I don&#8217;t think I have.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-10-19.107.1):
  • > *That the time for the presentation of the report of the Select Committee on Job Security be extended to the last sitting day in February 2022.*
