I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the following:

(1) the Member for Wentworth moving a motion relating to antisemitism;

(2) each Member speaking for no longer than five minutes;

(3) amendments to the motion not being permitted;

(4) the question on the motion being put no later than 1.25 pm;

(5) any variation to this arrangement being made only on a motion moved by a Minister; and

(6) that standing order 133 be suspended.

Michael Sukkar

I again move as an amendment:

That clause (3) be omitted.

I move this amendment for the same reason I originally indicated. A worthy and important issue like this should allow the opposition to move amendments to any motion. However much we may agree with many aspects of the motion proposed by the member for Wentworth, or, indeed, what should be happening in this instance—a motion being moved by the government; indeed, a motion being moved by the Prime Minister—why on earth the Prime Minister is not in here showing leadership and moving this motion after the summer we have had is an absolute outrage. We have Jewish communities throughout Australia who are fearful—

Government Members

Government members interjecting—

Milton Dick

Order, the Attorney-General. Members on my right will cease interjecting. The manager is entitled to be heard in silence. He will pause so that I can hear the Leader of the House.

Tony Burke

Given that this is the second attempt of this idea here to bring the parliament together, I move:

That the question be now put.

Milton Dick

The question is that the question be now put. In accordance with the standing order 133, the division is deferred until after the discussion of the matter of public importance. The debate on this item is therefore adjourned until that time.

Milton Dick

The question is that the motion moved by the Leader of the House be agreed to.

The question now is that the bill be now read a second time.

The question before the House is the motion moved by the Manager of Opposition Business be agreed to.

The question before the House is that the bill, as amended, be agreed to.

Josh Wilson

I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum to the bill and an addendum to the explanatory memorandum to the bill. I ask leave of the House to move government amendments (1) and (2) together.

Leave granted.

I move government amendments (1) and (2) together:

(1) Clause 2, page 2 (at the end of the table), add:

(2) Schedule 1, page 9 (after line 32), at the end of the Schedule, add:

Part 5 — Double counting

Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000

15 At the end of subsection 18(4)

Add:

; or (d) to the extent that:

(i) the electricity formed the basis of calculating an amount for the purposes of the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024 or a scheme prescribed by the regulations; and

(ii) a certificate (however described) has been created in respect of that amount.

16 After subsection 23A(1)

Insert:

(1AA) However, if a small generation unit is a registered renewable electricity facility (within the meaning of the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024) or a component of such a facility, certificates cannot be created in respect of the small generation unit after the first day on which a certificate is created under that Act in relation to the facility.

I'm pleased to introduce amendments to the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2024. These amendments are important to clarify technical details of the GO scheme's operation. The government has also included an amendment to the consequential amendments bill to amend the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000. This amendment will prevent the creation of large-scale generation certificates, or LGCs, and small-scale technology certificates, or STCs, for renewable electricity that has already been certified under the GO scheme. This effectively prevents double-claiming of renewable electricity and is important to ensure the integrity of the GO and Renewable Energy Target, or RET, schemes. As a matter of common sense and scheme integrity, participants should not be able to certify the same electricity more than once.
