A letter has been received from Senator McGrath:

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

The 2024-25 Budget fails the key test to tackle inflation at the source, and confirms that Australians are poorer under an Albanese Labor Government, that Australians are paying the price for Labor's wrong priorities and bad decisions, and that it is Labor's homegrown inflation which is driving up the cost of living, energy, mortgages and grocery bills.

Is the proposal supported?

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