I remind senators that, yesterday, a division was deferred relating to a closure motion moved by Senator Watt concerning the proposed reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold that division now. The question is that the question now be put.

The question now is that the motion proposing a reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee moved by Senator Paterson be agreed to.

The Senate divided. [12:02]
