A letter has been received from Senator McKim:

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

The Albanese government should listen to the three-quarters of Australians and the 80 housing organisations who want the Federal government to work with state and territories through National Cabinet to implement rent caps nationwide and the 9 in 10 people who want the government to spend more money to directly build affordable housing.

Is the proposal supported?

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

With the concurrence of the Senate, the clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
