Mr Deputy President, on a point of order: I do object to a process whereby a senator puts forward a proposal on the basis that a future action of the Senate be anticipated otherwise that proposal is not dealt with. In good faith, I can tell the senator that we will not, and would not, object to an amendment being put under these circumstances—but conditional? No, we do not accept that condition; we just give him that assurance.
