I am learning these new words, like 'conciliation' and 'negotiation'. I have reluctantly agreed to postpone this motion relating to still photographs in the Senate. This matter will go to the Procedure Committee, to make it consistent with the lower house. Mr President, I say I am reluctant, because you were a member of the committee in September 2014, as were Senator Fifield and Senator Wong, and your committee decided that the rules for photographs were unduly restrictive and inconsistent and that they should be amended, and that the amended rules should be brought in as of 24 September 2014, two years ago next week. It did not happen. The matter has gone back to the same committee. I am hopeful that we will get the same result. If not, I will be back here next month.

Question agreed to.
