Mr President, on Senator Macdonald’s point of order: the motion for which the Senate just voted was a motion that the motion be put. Not that ‘a motion be put’ in relation to precedence but that ‘the motion be put’. The only motion before the Senate at the time that motion was put and determined was not the motion which Minister Ludwig is now reading. The motion that Minister Ludwig is now reading is not the motion that the Senate gave leave to put. He is out of order and you should sit him down.
