by leave—I move:

That—

(a) the Criminal Code Amendment (Hate Crimes) Bill 2025 be called on at 10.30 am;

(b) the time allotted for the second reading of the bill be one hour;

(c) the questions on all remaining stages of the Criminal Code Amendment (Hate Crimes) Bill 2025 and the Navigation Amendment Bill 2024 be put at 1.15 pm;

(d) paragraphs (b) and (c) operate as limitations of debate under standing order 142; and

(e) divisions may take place between 1.30 pm and 2 pm until consideration of the bills has concluded.

This motion is essentially just to make a slight rearrangement to the program, to bring on the Criminal Code Amendment (Hate Crimes) Bill 2024 at 10.30 and to allow for an hour of second reading debate and then further debate post our housekeeping arrangements motions. We will get that bill done by question time or before, if that's possible. I thank the Senate for the discussions this morning. I appreciate the support from the opposition to get this important piece of legislation dealt with today.

I indicate that the opposition will obviously be supporting this arrangement to facilitate passage of this very important legislation in a timely fashion. I just wanted to make that clear to the chamber.

Question agreed to.
