Division
Tony Burke Mr Speaker, that was odd on a bill that we just heard was apparently supported by employers and unions. I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the debate on the Fair Work Amendment (Repeal of 4 Yearly Reviews and Other Measures) Bill 2017 proceeding immediately, the bill being given priority over all other business for passage through all stages without interruption, and if consideration of the bill has not concluded by 12 pm on Wednesday, 1 March 2017, any detailed amendments that have been circulated prior to 12 pm being deemed to have been moved and any necessary questions to complete consideration of the bill being put without delay. I never thought I would see a moment where we had a minister in this government describe proceeding with the passage of their own legislation as a 'union Labor stunt'. But that is the argument that has just been put by the minister. Peter Dutton I move: That the member be no longer heard. Tony Smith The question is that the Manager of Opposition Business be no further heard.
