Text recorded with this division

Nick McKim

I understand that you will now be putting the question on the Government Business Notice of Motion No. 1. Could I please ask that the question be put separately on (a)(i) and (a)(iii)? Just to be clear, we are asking that the question be put separately on the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill and the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Declared Areas) Bill 2024. I can inform the Senate that that request is based on the fact that the Greens will be voting differently on those two bills as to the rest of the motion.

Andrew McLachlan

I am splitting the question. The first question will be whether the motion effectively applies to the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Declared Areas) Bill. I am indicating Senator McKim will be voting differently. The Greens will be voting against that. Those that wish those to be included in the substantive motion will be voting in the affirmative. The question before the Senate is that the two bills, the National Disability Insurance Scheme bill and the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Declared Areas) Bill, will remain in the motion?

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.
