Text recorded with this division

Wendy Askew

At the request of Senator Dean Smith, I move:

That the time for the presentation of the report of the Select Committee on the Perth Mint and Commonwealth regulatory compliance be extended to 21 June 2024.

Anthony Chisholm

I seek leave to make a short statement.

Sue Lines

Leave is granted for one minute.

Anthony Chisholm

The government will be opposing this motion. From day one this has been driven by partisan state politics. The committee has used valuable and scarce resources of the Senate to hold multiple public hearings and absolutely no new information has come to light. It's time for the committee to stop spending taxpayers money and scarce Senate resources so the Senate can divert its resources to important issues within the Commonwealth jurisdiction.

Sue Lines

The question is the general business notice of motion No. 505 standing in the name of Senator Dean Smith, and moved by Senator Askew, 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.
