Consideration of Legislation

Tony Burke

I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following:

(1) in relation to proceedings on the Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Bill 2026:

(a) when the bill is considered in detail, any amendments circulated being treated as if they had been moved [together] by the Member proposing them with:

(i) one question to be put on any government amendments;

(ii) one question to be put on any opposition amendments; and

(iii) separate questions to be put on any sets of amendments moved by crossbench Members;

(b) debate on any amendments provided for under paragraph (1)(a) being limited to up to five minutes for the mover and up to five minutes for a minister speaking in reply; and

(c) the questions necessary to complete the remaining stages of the bill being put immediately;

(2) in relation to proceedings on the Income Tax Rates Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Bill 2026, when the order of the day for the resumption of debate is called on:

(a) any second reading amendments circulated being treated as if they had been moved by the Member proposing them;

(b) the questions being put immediately on any second reading amendments and on the second reading of the bill;

(c) any consideration in detail amendments circulated being treated as if they had been moved [together] by the Member proposing them with:

(i) one question to be put on any government amendments;

(ii) one question to be put on any opposition amendments; and

(iii) separate questions to be put on any sets of amendments moved by crossbench Members;

(d) debate on any amendments provided for under paragraph (2)(c) being limited to up to five minutes for the mover and up to five minutes for a minister speaking in reply; and

(e) the questions necessary to complete the remaining stages of the bill to be put immediately; and

(3) any variation to this arrangement being made only on a motion moved by a Minister.
