A letter has been received from Senator Canavan:

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

The Albanese Labor Government's litany of broken promises; from cheaper power prices, to cheaper mortgages to no changes to super and no new taxes which demonstrate a betrayal of the Australian public's trust.

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.
