My second question concerns the handling of three other bills: the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Strengthening Protections Against Discrimination) Bill 2023, the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency) Bill 2023, and the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (First Responders) Bill 2023. These bills were transmitted from the Senate to the House yesterday. Each of them were read for a first time. They entered the custody of the House. Standing order 166 requires that a Senate bill coming to the House be treated to the necessary extent as a House bill. However, these bills are not listed on the Notice Paper, which makes them unavailable to be proceeded with, which raises the question of whether standing order 166 has been complied with. Accordingly, my question to you in respect of these three bills is: why are they not on the Notice Paper?
