Text recorded with this division
David Shoebridge
I move the motion and commend the motion to the House:
That the provisions of the Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures) Bill 2024 be referred immediately to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 24 June 2024.
Very briefly, I understand that there's a foreshadowed motion by Senator Birmingham that will shorten the reporting period. Obviously, the Greens would prefer the reporting period set out in the motion, but we indicate that we won't be opposing the amendment.
Simon Birmingham
I move the amendment circulated in the chamber:
Omit "24 June 2024" and replace with "7 May 2024"
This would ensure several weeks of scrutiny of this legislation but, equally, enable it to be dealt with on the first sitting day back if that is the will of the Senate.
Sue Lines
The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Birmingham 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.
