The standing orders don't have manners in them; that might be an amendment we consider!

I will now put the amendments on sheet LX141 moved by the government to the amendments moved by Senator Storer and the Greens.

Government's circulated amendments—

(1) After proposed subsection 198C(5), insert:

(5A) An officer must not bring a person to Australia from a regional processing country in accordance with subsections (3) to (5) if the officer knows or reasonably suspects that the person has a substantial criminal record as defined in s 501(7).

The question is the amendments on sheet LX141 be agreed to.
