Let me tell you: over the 11 years that I've been here there has been a precedent for this happening in all directions, and there was a clear indication from the leader of the One Nation party, Senator Hanson, as to the intention. In any event, I think it is very clear that the vote as it was recorded does not reflect the will of the Senate and it ought to be addressed, consistent with the usual conventions.
