A division having been called and the bells being rung—

Nick McKim

The Australian Greens seek leave to withdraw our request for a division and simply ask that our opposition to this part be recorded.

Leave granted.

Sue Lines

The question now is that the remainder of the motion as moved by Senator Wong be agreed to.

Question agreed to.

Penny Wong

I seek leave to move a motion relating to the consideration of legislation.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to the contingent notice of motion standing in my name, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion relating to the consideration of legislation to be moved and determined immediately.

And I move:

That the question be now put.

Sue Lines

The question is that the question be put.

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.
