A letter has been received from Senator Hume:

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

The Labor Government has lied to Australian taxpayers, killed reform of the tax system, trashed aspiration for millions of workers, and can't be trusted on negative gearing, capital gains tax, and the family home.

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.
