The Greens had not alerted us to the fact but we have some sympathy with them wishing to vote separately on the bills, as presented by Senator Siewert. I think we are inclined to support Senator Siewert on the understanding that that is the only way the Greens will be able to vote separately on the bills. In light of that, we will support the Greens.
