00:00Uproar in the House.
00:04Those opposite have trashed Parliament.
00:06They are treating it like a plaything.
00:08The LNP's incensed after the government revealed it's rushing three pieces of legislation through
00:13Parliament with less than one hour of debate.
00:16We would have accepted urgency on these bills.
00:20What we cannot accept is that we're going to debate three bills in 40 minutes.
00:26That is ridiculous.
00:27The bills involved the creation of three new roles, a nightlife economy commissioner,
00:32a cross-border commissioner and a food farmers commissioner, which was a recommendation of
00:37the supermarket inquiry.
00:38These bills are not complicated in nature and establish the legislative framework for
00:45what has already been announced.
00:47We get this dumped on us one day with 24 hours to consider them and 40 minutes to debate
00:54three important pieces of legislation.
00:57That is the part that the opposition cannot agree to.
01:00With about six weeks to go until the official state election campaign begins, the temperature
01:05has ratcheted up, with both sides trying to make the most of the remaining sitting days,
01:11with the LNP today focusing on Labor's history with the CFMEU, while the government continued
01:17to attack the opposition leader.
01:18The ABC revealed last week the LNP leader paid $200,000 in a confidential settlement
01:26years after the collapse of the company.
01:28I was at the company for four months and I met my obligations during and after this period.
01:34Watching the argy-bargy was the newly minted independent Stephen Andrew.
01:39Told he wouldn't be re-endorsed by One Nation at the October election, he's quit the party.
01:45And for the remainder of the 57th parliament, the member will be representing the people
01:48of Murranny as an independent.
01:50It marks the first time in eight years One Nation hasn't had an MP in Queensland parliament.
