I inform the Senate that the President has received the following letter, dated 27 November, from Senator McKim:

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

That the Western Australian Government is about to approve Woodside's North West Shelf extension to burn toxic gas until 2070 and Minister Plibersek has to use her power to block it."

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 informal arrangements made by the whips.
