Sue Lines

I remind senators that yesterday at 6.30 pm a vote was deferred relating to an amendment moved by Senator Askew to a motion to refer a matter to the Economics References Committee. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold the vote now. The question on closure will be put first. If that is agreed to, I'll put the question on the amendment. The question is that the question be now put.

A division having been called and the bells being rung—

Just a moment, everyone. Senator Scarr has asked for a cancellation of this division.

Question agreed to.

The question is that the amendment, as moved by Senator Askew and standing in the name of Cash, 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.
