Mr President, I seek leave to revisit notice of motion No. 817 and to recommit for a vote the motion standing in the name of Senator Whish-Wilson relating to the beef industry. I suspect that the call you made on Senator Whish-Wilson's motion did not reflect the will of the Senate. I understand, in fact, that the Labor Party would have supported that vote. I ask that you recommit the vote.

Leave granted.

I would just remind senators that it is sometimes difficult if I do not get enough callers on these motions in the first instance. The question is that the question that was moved by Senator Whish-Wilson regarding notice of motion No. 817 be agreed to.

Question agreed to.
