Eric Abetz (Tasmania, Liberal Party, Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

I simply finish on this. I daresay, despite the overwhelming logic and good argument, Senator Xenophon will not find his way clear to support the opposition amendments. As I result, I would not wish anybody to think that the fact that we will not be seeking to divide is an indication that we do not hold a very strong view in relation to this. I believe that the discussion in the Hansard will show that the coalition has put a very strong case forward, but given the time constraints we will not be seeking to divide.

Question negatived.
