Mr Deputy President, in regard to Senator Whish-Wilson's motion, we are confused as to the call you made. Could we ask that you recommit that.
Gavin Marshall Deputy-President
If you seek leave to recommit it. I will put that question. Is leave granted to recommit general business notice of motion No. 740?
Leave granted.

I recommit the motion standing in my name:
That the Senate—
(a) condemns the decision of the Government to reject the application for funding made by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Legal Service; and
(b) calls on the Government to restore annual funding to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Legal Service so that local Indigenous people can be provided with locally based assistance.
Question agreed to.
