Order of Business
The Leader proposes the day’s business: the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund estimate and the National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) Bill.
The Order of Business is No. 1, motion re Estimate for the provision of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund allocation for 2015, referral to the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine, to be taken without debate on the conclusion of the Order of Business; and No. 2, the National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) Bill 2015 - Second Stage, to be taken on the conclusion of No. 1, with the contributions of group spokespersons not to exceed eight minutes and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes.
Seven or eight Members were asking me when the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Bill will be taken in the House. It will be on Tuesday next week, I believe. We will have ample time to debate it then. I have had a number of inquiries from Members about Committee Stage of the Legal Services Regulation Bill. More than likely, it will be taken in the House in the third week of November.
