The Greens will not be supporting these amendments. They are, in essence, overturning the removal of group voting tickets, and, as we have discussed many times, that is essential to be able to move forward with Senate voting reforms. It is group voting tickets that drive the incentive for the funnelling of votes, for the abuse of the system. They are not democratic. Again, how can you argue against voters determining their preferences?

The CHAIRMAN: These amendments will be put as two separate questions. The first question is that amendments (1) and (3) on sheet 7862, moved by Senator Day, be agreed to.
