<p class="italic">That:</p><p class="italic">(1) the notice of motion proposing the disallowance of Schedule 2 to the National Health Legislation Amendment (Opioid Dependence Treatment and Maximum Dispensed Quantities) Instrument 2023 be called on immediately and determined without amendment or debate; and</p><p class="italic">(2) divisions may take place after 4.30 pm for the purposes of the disallowance motion only.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>Senator Birmingham?</p> <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p><p>A point of order, President. I ask you to rule in the relation to the validity of this motion. Earlier today, the Senate made its will clear in relation to the consideration of this disallowance—albeit in chaotic scenes from the government. At the end of those, the will of the Senate was clear and at that time you advised the Senate that the motion was deferred until the next sitting day. That of course would provide the three-week period for the government to follow its promise, undertake its consultation with community pharmacies and clean up its policy mess. The government appears to be seeking to overturn the rule of the Senate and the determination you gave earlier today in relation to this motion. President, I would ask you to consider the validity of this motion, given the determination of the Senate and yourself earlier today.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>Senator Wong?</p> <p class="speaker">Penny Wong</p><p>On the point of order, President. The will of the Senate has been demonstrated by the numerous votes we've just had, including on the suspension of standing orders.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>Senator Birmingham, I'll just seek some advice from the Clerk. I'm advised, Senator Birmingham, that the motion is in order. The procedure motion just agreed to requires that the substantive motion be put without amendment or debate, so I will put the question. The question is that the motion moved by Minister Wong be agreed to. Division required? Ring the bells for one minute.</p><p><i>A division having been called and the bells being rung</i></p><p><i>An honourable senator interjecting</i></p><p>I don't believe that was debate. That was simply a point of order by Senator Birmingham.</p><p><i>An honourable senator interjecting</i></p><p>I refer you to the standing orders.</p><p>Senator McGrath!</p><p>Order! Senator McGrath, I have just called you, and I expect you to come to order! The question is as moved by the minister.</p><p></p><p></p> -
