Consideration of Legislation

Jess Walsh

On behalf of Senator Watt, I move:

That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of standing order 111 not apply to the Online Safety Amendment (Strengthening Enforcement for the Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2026, allowing it to be considered during this period of sittings.

Sarah Henderson

by leave—I move an amendment to the motion as circulated in the chamber:

Omit all words after "That" and insert

"the provisions of the Online Safety Amendment (Strengthening Enforcement for the Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2026 be referred to the Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 25 August 2026. "

Sarah Hanson-Young

by leave—I move an amendment to Senator Henderson's amendment:

That Senator Henderson's amendment to Government Business Notice of Motion no. 2 be amended as follows:

At the end of the amendment, add:

"and the provisions of any bill amending the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 introduced to the House of Representatives on 1 July or 2 July 2026 be referred to the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 17 August 2026".

Sue Lines

The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Hanson-Young to Senator Henderson's amendment be agreed to.
