Sue Lines
The question now is that the amendment moved by the minister be agreed to.
Question agreed to.
Nick McKim
As flagged, we have another amendment, in relation to the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024 and associated bills. I move:
At the end of the motion, add:
"but, in respect of the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Bill 2024 and Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Communications) Bill 2024, the provisions of the bills be referred immediately to the Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 3 February 2025".
I'm aware that my colleague Senator Waters wants to make an observation in regard to that, if that is possible.
Sue Lines
She can't, the time has expired. The question is that paragraph (b) of the amendment which was circulated earlier by Senator McKim 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.
