Senator Thorpe has submitted a proposal under standing order 75 today:

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 Federal Government must take national leadership to support children who are currently or at risk of coming into contact with the criminal legal system by applying a rights-based approach grounded in evidence and best practice."

Is the consideration of the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

I believe that the proposal is supported. With the concurrence of the Senate, the clerks will set the clocks in line with informal arrangements made by the whips.
