Senator Macdonald, the amendments have been circulated in the required time under the standing orders. I will put the question again so that senators are absolutely clear on the question. In respect of the Tax Laws Amendment (2011 Measures No. 8) Bill 2011, the question is that schedule 2 stand as printed.

Opposition's circulated amendment—

(1)   Clause 2, page 2 (table item 2, 1st column), omit “Schedules 1 and 2”, substitute “Schedule 1”.

[Petroleum Resource Rent Tax]

(2)   Schedule 2, page 5 (line 1) to page 6 (line 2), TO BE OPPOSED.

[Petroleum Resource Rent Tax]

Question put.

Senate divided. [19:27]
