Mr President, I raise another point of order on this continuing farce where we are voting on bills we have not spoken one word on. My Order of Business shows the Broadcasting Services Amendment (Review of Future Uses of Broadcasting Services Bands Spectrum) Bill 2001 and then it says, in brackets, 'subject to introduction'. I do not recall whether Senator Conroy has introduced this. Are we going to be voting on that? Has it been introduced?
John Hogg President
I understand, Senator Macdonald, that the bill has been introduced.
Ian Macdonald Queensland, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Northern and Remote Australia
Will we vote on that tonight?
John Hogg President
Senator Macdonald, you have got that quite correct. I now put the motion—
Ian Macdonald Queensland, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Northern and Remote Australia
Can I just get that clear?
Ian Macdonald Queensland, Liberal Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Northern and Remote Australia
Are we voting on a bill that was not introduced this morning and not a word has been spoken on—
John Hogg President
Senator Macdonald, you asked the question and I gave you the answer. The question is that the remaining stages of the Personal Property Securities Amendment (Registration Commencement) Bill 2011, Competition and Consumer Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2011 and Broadcasting Services Amendment (Review of Future Uses of Broadcasting Services Bands Spectrum) Bill 2011 be agreed to and the bills be passed.
Question agreed to.
