Urgency

I move, That urgency be accorded the introduction and first reading of the Immigration Amendment Bill, the introduction and passing of the Immigration Amendment Bill (No 2), the first reading of the Border Security Bill; and the passing through their remaining stages of the Fair Trading Amendment Bill (No 3), the Consumer Protection (Definitions of Goods and Services) Bill, the Imports and Exports (Restrictions) Amendment Bill, the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (Stockholm Convention) Amendment Bill, and of any bills into which those bills may be divided; the second reading of the Retirement Villages Bill; and the passing through their remaining stages of the Biosecurity Amendment Bill, the Crimes Amendment Bill (No 6), the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Bill, and the Wool Industry Restructuring Bill, and of any bills into which those bills may be divided.

The motion is moved first of all in order to enable the Immigration Amendment Bill to proceed to its first reading and a select committee without the standard 3-day separation—I think members who have been briefed on this will understand the reasons for that—and, because of administrative reasons that arise out of the first bill, to enable the passing through all its stages of the Immigration Amendment Bill (No 2). In relation to the remainder of the bills, the motion is moved in order to gain extra sitting hours to enable the House to consider those bills, which members of this House, and others, have indicated they are keen to see passed as rapidly as possible.
