I think the interesting issue here is that the background to this is that I referred both issues to the Clerk of the Senate in light of the OzCar affair, Senator Conroy and the emailing. I asked for them to be in the light of the OzCar affair. Was it significant enough? Was there significance? I am hoping that people are not treating this as trivial, because the Clerk of the Senate treats it very seriously and so do I. I do just appeal to those who have said they are not going to support this one to rethink their position, and I urge all senators to support this reference to the Privileges Committee.

Question put:

That the motion (Senator Fielding’s), as amended, be agreed to.
