Because there are some overlapping amendments and we've just dealt with part (a) of Senator Ruston's amendment, I'm now going to put part (a) of Minister Gallagher's amendment. The question is that part (a) of the amendment as moved by Minister Gallagher be agreed to.
This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
