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.
Learn more about urgency - Extended sittings used: This bill was progressed during one or more extended sittings of the House of Representatives. This enables MPs to meet for longer than normal to consider legislation. It does not alter the stages that a bill must pass through to become law.
