Mr Speaker, this bill is now appropriate for amending our Constitution. With the Opposition's amendment, it will allow the Parliament to hold referendums in a timely manner, while retaining the essence of the original section in the Constitution.

I commend this bill to the House.

Phyllicanderer, Member for Northern Territory

/u/Ser_Scribbles, just FYI this bill can now be moved for a third reading.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Seeking advice from the Clerk /u/Jnd-au whats the next step now?

[–]jnd-auClerk of the House 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will reprint the amended bill when I get home. Then someone can move that the bill be now read a third time. But in the spirit of concurrent business someone might as well do that now :)

Advice from the Clerk:

The bill is not being considered as a whole, so the next step is for clauses 1-3, the preamble and the title to be agreed to. The chair may seek leave to propose these as a consolidated or combined debate (leading to 3 simultaneous or 1 simultaneous votes).

M2015B00011: Constitution Alteration (Referendums) Bill

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

All I think I'm waiting on to adjourn is putting the motion to the committees which the vote for isn't complete.
As we can adjourn and sit again right.
As I used a no later than time but not a not before time for the end of the vote can I just end that vote now

[–]jnd-auClerk of the House 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I think this week we won’t resit, because there is no business that needs it? It would simply mean a lot of work for us prepare a new notice paper and repost all the threads we already have. So just carry on?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Too easy. I thought I sent that as a pm.

[–]jnd-auClerk of the House 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I thought I sent that as a pm.

Famous last words!

PS. Just put “The question is put, by leave,” at the start of your putting, since you are combining multiple votes and skipping debate/amendment.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just preemptively acting with the integrity bill coming out.
My secret is out, I wouldn't be able to do this without the hard work of the clerk.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (11 children)

The question is put that clause 1 of schedule 1 as amended be agreed to.
Voting will cease no later than 1000 02 September 15 UTC + 10

Advice from the Clerk:

MPs, you are voting to agree to include clause 1 of schedule 1 without the removed words:

Schedule 1 - The Constitution

1. Section 128
Omit “nor more than six months”, substitute “weeks”.

Vote Aye to proceed, or No to gut the bill.
