I move:

That the vote be taken again on general business notice of motion No. 1092.

I note that no-one from the cross bench who supported the motion or moved it is actually present in the chamber. I do wonder whether it might be appropriate to make sure Senator Hanson, Senator Georgiou, Senator Bernardi, Senator Anning and others are, in fact, aware that this motion is being recommitted.

Senator Wong, I previously advised the chamber that the Clerk staff, at our request, have contacted Senator Hanson's office and advised her that this procedure would be occurring. So I will put the motion that we recommit the motion, moved by the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

Question agreed to.

Now I will put the motion again. The motion is general business notice of motion No. 1092, moved by Senator Hanson yesterday. I will take it as moved. The question is that that motion be agreed to.

Question negatived.
