The question before the chair is that the amendments moved by the honourable member for Melbourne be agreed to.

A division having been called and the bells having been rung—

As there would appear to be 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 honourable members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

Question negatived, Mr Bandt, Mr Wilkie and Mr Katter voting aye.
