I rise to speak on the amendment and the substantial motion before us. I understand the points that Senator Pocock is making. However, at this time, members in this place—and my Greens colleagues in particular—have made arrangements on the basis of what had previously been agreed, so we will stick to that. However, I indicate that we do think we need to find time to deal with the Restoring Territory Rights Bill 2022 in particular and to not allow this to slide off into the never-never. That may suit some in this place, but it certainly doesn't suit all. We will be prepared to speak collectively across this chamber to find time to deal with that.

I also indicate that there is a lot on our agenda for the next three days as now nominated by the government, and I would ask us to be as efficient as possible in dealing with the long list of things that has been circulated by the government. It may mean that we need to extend hours on some of those days in order to get the work done.
