I move:

That the message be considered in Committee of the Whole immediately.

A division having been called and the bells being rung—

Stephen Parry

Stephen Parry President

Ring the bells for one minute.

Senator Wong interjecting—

I can do that; I will ring the bells for four minutes. I am just indicating to the Senate that standing order 101(3) provides for the bells to be rung for one minute when divisions are successive and there is no intervening debate. There was no intervening debate, but I am happy to call it for four minutes.
