I think that is a very apt confession at Christmas time. I am now going to state the amendment and what the amendment was. I am going to then call and see whether a division is required. The original question was that the requested amendments be not made. To this, the honourable member for Adelaide has moved as an amendment:

That all the words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:

"the House calls on the Government to recommend an appropriation from the Governor-General consistent with the request from the Senate"

The question is that the amendment moved by the member for Adelaide be agreed to.
