(a) the Migration Amendment (Bridging Visa Conditions) Bill 2023 be called on immediately and, until the bill is finally determined, the routine of business be as follows:

i. consideration of the bill only;

ii. the time allotted for the remaining stages of the Bill be as follows:

(B) the question be put on all remaining stages after a further 90 minutes.

This motion has the effect of bringing on this bill, the Migration Amendment (Bridging Visa Conditions) Bill 2023, immediately. The government have said they're ready to debate the bill, so let's debate the bill. Of course, if the Albanese government had its house in order, this would have been done weeks ago.
