Title
Business — Consideration of Legislation- Business - Consideration of Legislation - Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017
Description
<p class="speaker">Nick McKim</p><p>I move:</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2017-09-13.163.2) to:
- > *Omit all words after "That", substitute "if, by 18 October 2017, the government business order of the day relating to the consideration of the Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017, has not been finally considered, the order of the day shall be discharged from the Notice Paper".*
- The original motion was:
- > *That the government business order of the day relating to the consideration of the Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017 be discharged from the Notice Paper.*
<p class="italic">That the government business order of the day relating to the consideration of the Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017 be discharged from the <i>Notice Paper</i>.</p> <p class="speaker">Jacqui Lambie</p><p>I seek leave to amend the motion.</p><p>Leave granted.</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">Omit all words after "That", substitute "if, by 18 October 2017, the government business order of the day relating to the consideration of the Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017, has not been finally considered, the order of the day shall be discharged from the <i>Notice Paper</i>".</p> <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p><p>Senator Lambie, I do not have the motion in front of me. Do you have that in writing? Senator Lambie, could you sign what you have in writing so that we have it in front of us? Just to simplify things, so that everyone knows what we are doing, Senator Lambie, you are putting: 'That, if by 18 October 2017', and then the words remain the same until 'has not been finally considered, the order of the day shall', after the name of the bill was mentioned. Does everyone understand the nature of the motion? I'm quite happy to read it out. Everyone understands the motion.</p> <p class="speaker">Skye Kakoschke-Moore</p><p>I seek leave to make a short statement on the amendment.</p> <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p><p>Leave is granted for one minute.</p> <p class="speaker">Skye Kakoschke-Moore</p><p>Let me definitively put on the record that, when the citizenship bill does come up for debate in this place, the Nick Xenophon Team will oppose the bill in its entirety because it's fundamentally flawed and would require significant redrafting for us to consider it. The government needs to go back to the drawing board on this. As senators, it is incumbent upon us to do the job we have been elected to do, which is debate and vote on bills before us. This is part of a healthy democracy. To honour that duty, the Nick Xenophon Team will support the motion as amended to provide the government sufficient time to bring the bill on for debate and subsequent vote, thereby providing certainty to many migrants who call Australia home.</p> <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p><p>It does help if we have the amendments circulated in the chamber well in advance. If that could be facilitated, it would make life a bit easier. The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Lambie to Senator McKim's notice of motion No. 493 be agreed to.</p> -
