I ask leave of the House to present a bill for an act to provide for Housing Australia to enter into shared equity arrangements on behalf of the Commonwealth to improve housing outcomes for Australians and for other purposes.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent a Minister introducing a bill without notice.

The question before the House is that the motion be agreed to.
