I already raised on Leaders' Questions our concerns about the rushing through of the Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill. These concerns were set out in our letter, sent by my colleague Senator Rebecca Moynihan, to the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, on 1 December. I want to raise it again and our representative on the Business Committee also raised the concerns about the tabling of business in this House. We are absolutely in support of measures to speed up the delivery of housing but we have very serious concerns about the extent to which the measures in this Bill will not have the proper scrutiny they deserve.
