In what is possibly, given the time, my best-timed and maybe most popular intervention in this place this year, I move:

That—

(a) the Senate, at its rising, adjourn till Monday, 12 August 2024, at 10 am, or such other time as may be fixed by the President or, in the event of the President being unavailable, by the Deputy President, and that the time of meeting so determined shall be notified to each senator; and

(b) leave of absence be granted to every member of the Senate from the end of the sitting today to the day on which the Senate next meets.

Question agreed to.
