Senator Canavan would still need leave of the Senate. Leave has been denied. So I will put the amendment, unless there are further contributions. The question is that amendments (1) and (2) on sheet 3477 together be agreed to.

A division have been called and the bells being rung—

I am seeking further advice from the Clerk concerning Senator Canavan's amendment. It may be that division will need to be cancelled. I will seek that advice now.

I am going to cancel this division. There was conflicting advice to the chair. The advice is now that Senator Canavan did not need leave to move his amendment. So I am going to give Senator Canavan the chance to move his amendment. We will then vote on it.
