We're now moving to the first of the deferred votes. I remind senators that, yesterday evening, two votes relating to motions to refer matters to committees were deferred. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold those votes now, and it's my intention to deal with the first motion, moved by Senator Hanson, concerning a proposed reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee.

Could I ask that paragraphs (a) and (b) be put separately?

Sue Lines (President) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

Yes. The question is that part (a) of the motion moved by Senator Hanson be agreed to.

I'll move now to paragraph (b) of that motion. We're still dealing with Senator Hanson's reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee. The question is that paragraph (b) of the motion moved by Senator Hanson be agreed to.
