I seek leave to move a motion concerning the consideration of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment (Administration) Bill 2024.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice of motion, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion relating to the consideration of the bill to be moved and determined immediately.

Can I indicate to the opposition that, if they are so keen on their last question, then, when the bill is finished, we will come back for question time and give Senator Birmingham his last question. We're very happy to do that.

In question time today Senator Cash said that the CFMEU was infiltrated by organised crime. Well, what I would say to Senator Cash is it's time to stop being John Setka's friend.
