I note here that normally the Greens do not support exempting most bills from the cut-off order, for reasons that I've articulated in this place before—to enable enough time to look at bills. Given the circumstances of this bill, which I will go into in more detail in the debate on the second reading, the Greens will not be objecting to exemption from the cut-off order. But I don't want that to be taken as a precedence for us changing our view on the rules around bills being exempted from the cut-off order.
