As there are fewer than five members on the side for the ayes in this division, I declare the question negatived in accordance with standing order 127. The names of those members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

Question negatived, Mr Bandt and Mr Wilkie voting aye.

I indicate to the member for Melbourne that I am not sure that the mood lighting in the chamber is as a result of his successful motion yesterday. I would like to believe that the parliamentary administration has immediately stepped in, but I am not sure that that is the case.
