Voting against the restoration of a bill to the Notice Paper is extremely rare. Restoration of a private senator's bill is a routine and procedural step that should be respected. The coalition supports these established procedures, as we have on many occasions involving other private senator's bills that we have ultimately opposed. As in all cases, a vote to restore a bill to the Notice Paper is simply a vote to uphold the procedural rights of every duly elected senator.
