on indulgence—I want to let people know arrangements for today. Some members will have noticed that I put a debate management motion on the Notice Paper for the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024. At the moment, the speaking list is brief enough that that won't be required, but, if the speaking list blows out in the course of the day, that motion will be moved. The effect of it would be that we'd have speeches going through to 10 o'clock tonight, with the vote on the second reading and consideration in detail happening tomorrow. We'll only move that if the speaking list blows out. At the moment it doesn't look like we'll need to. I know that at least one of the attendants has been wanting to know the implications of this for State of Origin this evening! Members obviously have a right to put themselves forward on the list, but, in the interests of the staff and of everybody, if that list is going to get larger than it is now, could people please advise the whips as soon as possible so that we know whether we have to do a later sitting tonight.

Let's hope for the best.
