The question now is that the remaining stages of the bills be agreed to and the bills be now passed, subject to request on the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill 2023.

I ask that the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill 2023 be voted on separately to the other two bills, please.

Andrew McLachlan (SA, Deputy-President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

In accordance with the request by Senator Ruston, I will put the questions separately. The question now is that the remaining stages of the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council Bill 2023 and the Treasury Laws Amendment (Housing Measures No. 1) Bill 2023 be now passed.

Question agreed to.

I just seek clarification in relation to your calling of that division, President. I heard you say that all remaining stages of the bills be agreed to and that the bills now be passed, subject to requests. I make it very clear that we had already voted in favour of the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council Bill 2023 and the Treasury Laws Amendment (Housing Measures No. 1) Bill 2023, and that last vote was only actually specifically on the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill 2023. I want to make sure that it is clear in the Hansard that the opposition voted no on that bill alone.

I was aware that you split the bills. I seek the advice of the Clerk. Thank you, Senator Ruston. I clarify that that division and the agreement to the bills was in relation to the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill.

National Housing Supply and Affordability Council Bill 2023 and the Treasury Laws Amendment (Housing Measures No. 1) Bill 2023 read a third time.

Because the Housing Australia Future Fund Bill 2023 was agreed to subject to requests it will not be read a third time. A message will be sent to the House requesting that the House make the amendments. Senators, that concludes the consideration of the bills.
