Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) | Hansard source

Yes, don't talk me out of it! But the concept of amendments being grouped together and being sensible about deciding whether or not divisions need to occur means that there is a standing order that was put in place at a time when there were fewer than five crossbenchers that does not quite work now that the crossbench is so much larger, and we will have a point where we have to reckon with that. But, as a matter of good faith for the requests that have been made to me, I will instead, under standing order 45(c), move that we move to the next item of government business.
