Senator Dean Smith has submitted a proposal under standing order 75:

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 latest Living Cost Index, which shows cost of living is up 19.4% since Labor came to power, confirms what Australians see every day, hardworking families and businesses are struggling under an Albanese Labor Government that has pursued the wrong priorities and made the wrong decisions, demonstrating that Australians can't afford three more years of Labor"

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 the informal arrangements made by the whips.
