Procedural notes
  • Urgency used: This bill was progressed through one or more stages using urgency. Urgency allows the Government to fast-track the legislative process by extending the sitting hours of the House of Representatives and skipping the select committee stage of a bill, and allows bills to pass through more than one stage per sitting day.
