It's probably the wrong place for Senator Hanson to move her amendment. We have a number of amendments before the chair, and, in fact, we have some amendments to our amendments. Can I suggest that we deal with our amendments and Senator Pocock's amendment now and deal with Senator Hanson's amendment at a later point in the proceedings?

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: I'm cognisant that the question before the chair is in relation to those government amendments which you just referenced, but I don't think Senator Hanson has actually moved her amendment at this point. I think she was just foreshadowing moving her amendment. But Senator Hanson does need to be relevant to the question before the chair, which is the content of the current amendment, so I will listen very closely to ensure that she is being relevant to that. But, I think, Senator Hanson, you are in order.
