Business Statement

Next week, the House will consider a range of Government bills, including the first readings of the Autonomous Sanctions Bill, the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill, and the Legislation Bill, and the committee stages of the Electronic Interactions—

💬 Mr SPEAKER: Order! Order! Members of the Opposition will hear the rest of the Business Statement in silence, because I am interested and I cannot hear it, even with a very good sound system. The Leader of the House will start again.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. Next week, the House will consider a range of Government bills, including the first readings of the Autonomous Sanctions Bill, the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill, and the Legislation Bill, and the committee stages of the Electronic Interactions Reform Bill, Maritime Crimes Amendment Bill, and the Maritime Transport Amendment Bill.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. In addition to business of the old Government, is the Government intending to take urgency on any of its 100-day plan, and, if so, when can we see that legislation, given the importance of that to the Opposition?

The Government has no plans to take urgency next week. There may be urgency prior to Christmas to progress some of those bills, and we’ll certainly ensure that the Opposition’s fully informed of our intentions in that regard.
