I seek leave of the House to move the following motion:

That the House:

(1) notes the:

(a) Abbott-Truss-Turnbull-Truss-Turnbull-Joyce-Turnbull-McCormack-Morrison-McCormack and now Morrison-Joyce Government promised stable government;

(b) incoming Deputy Prime Minister has said investing in renewables is "insane" and "lemming-like";

(c) incoming Deputy Prime Minister backs nuclear power plants in the middle of towns;

(d) Government has had no fewer than 22 energy policies in eight years; and

(e) Government is more divided than ever on achieving net zero by 2050; and

(2) therefore, condemns the Morrison-Joyce Government for fighting itself instead of fighting for the jobs of the future, a sustainable climate and a strong economy for all Australians.

Leave not granted.

I move that so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition moving the following motion immediately:

That the House:

(1) notes the:

(a) Abbott-Truss-Turnbull-Truss-Turnbull-Joyce-Turnbull-McCormack-Morrison-McCormack and now Morrison-Joyce Government promised stable government;

(b) incoming Deputy Prime Minister has said investing in renewables is "insane" and "lemming-like";

(c) incoming Deputy Prime Minister backs nuclear power plants in the middle of towns;

(d) Government has had no fewer than 22 energy policies in eight years; and

(e) Government is more divided than ever on achieving net zero by 2050; and

(2) therefore, condemns the Morrison-Joyce Government for fighting itself instead of fighting for the jobs of the future, a sustainable climate and a strong economy for all Australians.

Mr Speaker, you'll see that video of the incoming Deputy Prime Minister out there on the farm with the cows, looking up at the sky, talking about how the world is—

Seconded. There's nothing to 're-Joyce' about if you care about regional jobs in Australia. There's nothing to 're-Joyce' about if—
