Scott Ryan President
The question now is that amendment (1) on sheet 8571 revised, circulated by the Australian Greens, be agreed to:
Australian Greens circulated amendment—

Duncan Spender NSW, Liberal Democratic Party
We haven't had the second reading. Why are we moving an amendment?
Scott Ryan President
As the Clerk advised Senator Hume when she was previously in the chair, because these bills are under a guillotine, we proceed straight to the substantive matters. The question is that the amendment be agreed to.
Question negatived.
