I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

congratulates the King Island Council on its success in banning plantation forestry from its farmland; and

(b)

commends the Minister for Fisheries, Forestry and Conservation (Senator Abetz) for understanding ‘the view of the King Island Council and local farmers in wanting to protect their icon [sic] beef and cheese industries’.

Question put.

A division having been called and the bells being rung—

Madam Acting Deputy President, I raise a point of order. Might the bells ring an extra minute so that Senator Abetz has time to get here to support the Greens motion congratulating him?

That is not a point of order.
