 Georgie PURCELL (Northern Victoria) (14:03): I move, by leave:

That the following general business take precedence on Wednesday 15 October 2025:

(1)   notice of motion given this day by me on animal shelter obligations;

(2)   notice of motion given this day by Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell on the Australian and Victorian flags;

(3)   notice of motion given this day by David Davis on retail crime; and

(4)   order of the day 1, resumption of debate on the second reading of the Safer Protest with a Registration System and a Ban on Face Coverings Bill 2025.

Ann-Marie Hermans: On a point of order, President, I am just wanting to understand the motion that is being put forward. Is that changing the order of debates?

The PRESIDENT: It is setting the order of debate for tomorrow. If this motion is not put, we would have to adjourn every single motion that is in front of it.

Ann-Marie Hermans: But it is not affecting the petition debate?

The PRESIDENT: No, not at all.

Motion agreed to.
