At the request of Senator Gallagher, I move:

That—

(a) a message from the House of Representatives relating to the Social Services Legislation Amendment (Strengthening Income Support) Bill 2021 be reported immediately after it has been received but not so as to interrupt a senator speaking;

(b) after the message is reported, consideration of the bill have precedence over all other government business until determined;

(c) if by 1.30 pm on Thursday, 18 March 2021, consideration of the bill has not been completed, the questions on all remaining stages be put without debate; and

(d) paragraph (c) operate as a limitation of debate under standing order 142.
