The what?

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: This is government amendments to clauses 4, 15 and 16 and after clause 5, but the amendments are actually amendments (3), (8) and (13) to (16) on sheet BM290. I understand the first part of these clauses is on page 2 of the sheet.

I do not have sheet BM290 in front of me. I seek your indulgence to get that.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: We will make one available to you. I am advised that all of these amendments relate to arrangements, if that is helpful.

Yes, that is right, but we need to clarify a few things with respect to arrangements. I will have to come back to this, if I may. I just cannot work out what we are doing here.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: I am looking to someone to give the call to while Senator Johnston is gathering his thoughts.
