I move:

At the end of the motion, add:

", but the Senate notes that Senators are paid an annual allowance of $32,000, known as the

electorate allowance, and calls on all Senators to commit to spending their electorate

allowance on their electorate and their electorate responsibilities, rather than using it to top up

their already generous salary.".

Question negatived.
