I just indicate to the chamber that I had a conversation with Senator Hinch earlier in the day about the date and the proposed change. My understanding was that his office was going to contact all parties, and that obviously has not happened. So there is no appetite for the change. Senator Siewert made a useful suggestion of a permission for lodging, by leave, a notice of motion. He would need leave to lodge a notice of motion as it is beyond the time frame for lodgement. Is the chamber happy for Senator Hinch to seek leave to lodge a notice of motion that will be lodged on Monday, 7 November for photography in the chamber to then take effect post that lodgement? Do I hear agreeance in the chamber for that course of action? He will lodge the motion today. The motion will then be debated or discovered in formal business on Monday, 7 November. I would assume that photography rules would then change post the passing of that motion, if indeed it passes.

Senator Hinch, I think we have reached a resolution. I am sure you will have some assistance in the drafting of the notice of motion. There will be leave granted probably at the end of this session for you to lodge that notice of motion. I think we have agreement.
