We were considering the final amendment moved by Senator Xenophon to the Trade Practices Legislation Amendment Bill 2008 just prior to question time commencing. Indeed, I was hoping we would get to that vote but unfortunately we did not. My understanding is that at five o’clock we are to move to first speeches. The debate has been well canvassed. I understand the position of the Liberal opposition and Senator Xenophon. The amendment will be carried so we will not be re-canvassing the earlier discussion. We will not be calling a division. I will be making my best endeavours to ensure we get to the vote just prior to five o’clock when we have the first speeches.
