Andrew McLachlan (SA, Deputy-President) Share this | Hansard source

A letter has been received from Senator Lambie:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:

The Tasmanian State Government proposal for a $750 million stadium in Hobart should not go ahead. The money would be better spent on health and housing in Tasmania.

Is the proposal supported?

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

I understand that informal arrangements have been made to allocate specific times to each of the speakers in today's debate. With the concurrence of the Senate, I ask the clerks to set the clock accordingly.
