Senator SESELJA (Australian Capital Territory—Assistant Minister for Treasury and Finance) (10:46): I seek leave to move a motion relating to the consideration of legislation. Leave not granted. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Williams ): Senator Carr, it's a simple procedure motion for the bill to be acted on now. I believe that is correct. You have a question or point of order? Senator Kim Carr: Yes. On the last day of sitting, if you wish to change anything in regard to procedural questions, it is of common courtesy to actually show the opposition. We haven't seen this motion and we can't agree to leave until we actually view the motion itself. Can we have a look at it first? Can you come back to in a moment? If it is just a straightforward matter, I'm sure we can grant leave in the break. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I just bring the House to attention now. Thank you, Senator Carr, for your point of order. Minister, would you like to add something? You have the call. Senator SESELJA: Indeed, it's a procedural motion. I'm advised it's to exempt the bill from the cut-off motion to allow it to be considered now, so it's not changing what people anticipated would be happening; it's a procedural motion that the Clerk has given us in order to allow the debate to occur. I'm happy to show you. Senator Kim Carr: That's all it is? It's just a procedural motion? Senator SESELJA: That's all it is. I will be moving the motion, so you can argue against if it you didn't support it. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Do you want to perhaps ask the question to seek leave again? Senator SESELJA: I will. I seek leave to move a motion relating to the consideration of legislation. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Sorry; resume your seat, Minister. Do you have a point of order, Senator Waters? Senator Waters: We do not have a copy of what is being moved, but, if the minister is about to read it out, I'm all ears. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Minister, you have the call. Read it out and explain it to the Senate, please. Senator SESELJA: I move: That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of standing order 111 not apply to the Fair Work Amendment (Family and Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2018, allowing it to be considered during this period of sittings. I also table a statement of reasons justifying the need for this bill to be considered during these sittings and seek leave to have this statement incorporated in Hansard. Leave granted. The document read as follows— Fair Work Amendment (Family and Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2018 Purpose of the Bill This Bill introduces new provisions into the Fair Work Act 2009 to include a new minimum entitlement in the National Employment Standards (NES) to five days of unpaid family and domestic violence leave per year. Reasons for Urgency Family and domestic violence strikes at the heart of our communities. It threatens workers' ability to hold down a job to provide for themselves and their families. Sadly, we know from well-established evidence that the Christmas seasons is tragically a time when women and children are particularly vulnerable to the devastating effects of family and domestic violence. It is therefore imperative that we pass this Bill to enable people who need to take leave to deal with the impact of family and domestic violence to do so safe in the knowledge that their job is protected. Senator SESELJA: So I have tabled that and I have also moved the motion. Question agreed to.
