I inform the Senate that I have received the following letter, dated 20 August 2024, from Senator Duniam:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I give notice that today I propose to move "That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The need for the Albanese Labor Government to explain its disastrous decision to block the McPhillamys gold mine, despite it having all federal and state environmental approvals and having support of the local Land Council."

Is consideration of the proposal supported?

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