I seek leave to move:

That the House:

1. Notes:

a. That nearly six months ago, the Prime Minister promised new economic leadership;

b. The Prime Minister, the Treasurer and this Liberal Government have failed to provide that leadership; and

c. That during his 46 minute speech to the National Press Club last week, the Treasurer outlined no new ideas, no plans for housing affordability, no plans for superannuation, and provided no economic leadership whatsoever; and

2. Suspends so much of standing and sessional orders as would prevent:

a. The Treasurer immediately being given 46 minutes to outline the Government's economic plan for Australia; and

b. The Member for McMahon being given the same amount of time to outline Labor's economic plan for Australia.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Manager of Opposition Business moving the following motion forthwith—That the House:

1. Notes:

a. That nearly six months ago, the Prime Minister promised new economic leadership;

b. The Prime Minister, the Treasurer and this Liberal Government have failed to provide that leadership; and

c. That during his 46 minute speech to the National Press Club last week, the Treasurer outlined no new ideas, no plans for housing affordability, no plans for superannuation, and provided no economic leadership whatsoever; and

a. The Treasurer immediately being given 46 minutes to outline the Government's economic plan for Australia; and

b. The Member for McMahon being given the same amount of time to outline Labor's economic plan for Australia.

Maybe he will want to talk about unicorns for 46 minutes. Maybe that will be—

The question is that the motion be agreed to.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( 12:3 0 ): Is there a seconder?

There is. The government has got a problem when Scott Morrison cannot even appear on Ray Hadley.
