Senator Nampijinpa Price has submitted a proposal under standing order 75 today, as shown at item 12 of today's Order of Business:

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

The failure of the Prime Minister to address with sufficient urgency the serious alcohol related crime across Northern Territory communities, including child sexual abuse, family violence, assault, property damage and theft, and calls on the Prime Minister to live up to his pre-election promise that he won't 'pose for photos and then disappear when there's a job to be done'."

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 speaker in the debate. With the concurrence of the Senate, I ask the clerks to set the clock accordingly.
