  • <p class="italic">That on Thursday, 8 September 2022&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) from 12.15 pm, consideration of the Climate Change Bill 2022 and the Climate Change (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2022 have precedence over all other business until determined;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(b) if consideration of the bills has not concluded by 1.30 pm, the questions on all remaining stages be put without debate;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(c) paragraph (b) operate as a limitation of debate under standing order 142;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(d) divisions may take place between 1.30 pm and 2 pm, and after 4.30 pm, for the purposes of the bills only; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(e) following consideration of the bills, the Senate return to its routine of business.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p>
  • <p>I ask that the provisions of that be put separately, please.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Claire Chandler</p>
  • <p>How would you like it divided, Senator Birmingham?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p>
  • <p>I would like parts (b) and (c) to be put separate from parts (a), (d) and (e).</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sarah Hanson-Young</p>
  • <p>Can we have Senator Birmingham's request repeated?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Claire Chandler</p>
  • <p>Senator Birmingham, please repeat your request.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p>
  • <p>I am asking for the vote on parts (b) and (c) to be taken separately from the votes on parts (a), (d) and (e). The consequence of doing so would be to give priority to consideration of the Climate Change Bill over all other Senate business, and would do so without limitations in terms of the conduct of that debate, including without time limitations. It would enable that to continue throughout the rest the day, without application of the guillotine.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Claire Chandler</p>
  • <p>The question is that parts (a), (d) and (e) be agreed to.</p>
  • <p>Question agreed to.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that parts (b) and (c) be agreed to.</p>
