I move:

That this bill may proceed without formalities and be now read a first time.

Question agreed to.

What bill?

Jane Hume (Victoria, Liberal Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

The one that I just read out, Senator Spender—the Criminal Code Amendment (Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material) Bill 2019, the one that the minister just spoke upon.

Bill read a first time.

I know you're frustrated, but we're more frustrated than you are, Madam Acting Deputy President.

Jane Hume (Victoria, Liberal Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

I understand.

It's thanks to your party that we're being asked to ram through this legislation at a rate of knots. So, if you're going to express your frustration, express it at your colleagues, not at us.

I am seeking leave to move a motion to refer—

Leave not granted.
