Senator Cameron, could you assist the Senate by indicating the nature of the amendment?

Doug Cameron (NSW, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Human Services) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes, Mr President. I amend the motion by inserting a hyphen in the short title of the bill between the words 'take' and 'home' to ensure uniformity between the use of the word in the principal act and the amending bill.

Thank you, Senator Cameron. I gather there is clarity in the chamber now.

Leave granted.
