I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House:

(1) notes it has been revealed today that the Government has made a secret deal with Senator Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party to give an $80 billion handout to big business but the Prime Minister won’t tell the Australian people:

(a) the details of its secret deal;

(b) the cost of its secret deal; and

(c) if its secret deal is even accounted for in the Budget;

(2) further notes that since Senator Pauline Hanson returned to the Australian Parliament, and without notice to the Australian people at the last election, this Government has:

(a) attempted to weaken race hate laws;

(b) attempted to introduce a university-level English test for citizenship; and

(c) refused to commit to putting One Nation last; and

(3) therefore, calls on this Prime Minister to stop making secret deals with One Nation and join Labor in putting One Nation last.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Watson from moving the following motion forthwith—That the House:

(1) notes it has been revealed today that the Government has made a secret deal with Senator Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party to give an $80 billion handout to big business but the Prime Minister won’t tell the Australian people:

(a) the details of its secret deal;

(b) the cost of its secret deal; and

(c) if its secret deal is even accounted for in the Budget;

(2) further notes that since Senator Pauline Hanson returned to the Australian Parliament, and without notice to the Australian people at the last election, this Government has:

(a) attempted to weaken race hate laws;

(b) attempted to introduce a university-level English test for citizenship; and

(c) refused to commit to putting One Nation last; and

(3) therefore, calls on this Prime Minister to stop making secret deals with One Nation and join Labor in putting One Nation last.

They may as well be in coalition with Pauline Hanson.

I second the motion, Mr Speaker. Pauline Hanson is writing the tax policy, and they're keeping it secret—

The question is that the member for McMahon be no longer heard.

The question is that the motion for the suspension of standing orders be agreed to.
