I inform the Senate that the President has received the following letter, dated 21 November 2022, from Senator McKim:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today the Australian Greens propose to move "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

That Vanuatu's Climate Minister, Ralph Regenvanu, would only back Australia's bid to host the 2026 COP if Australia doesn't commit to any new coal or gas handouts, yet Labor's first budget has $1.9 billion to open up a new LNG terminal and petrochemical hub in Darwin Harbour"

Is the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—
