Text recorded with this division

Sean Bell

I move:

That the following matter be referred to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee for inquiry and report by 15 February 2027:

The operation and administration of the Fuel and Fertiliser Security Facility, with particular reference to:

(a) the extent to which the facility impacts investment in fertiliser production or importation, processing, storage, transport and distribution;

(b) the facility's contribution to national food security, regional economic development and the continuity of essential services;

(c) the accountability and effectiveness of financial assistance provided for fertiliser through the facility; and

(d) any related matters.

Sue Lines

The question is that business of the Senate No. 6, standing in the name of Senator Bell, be agreed to.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
