Senate debates Committees
Community Affairs Legislation Committee; Reference
Sue Lines President
3:51 pm
I remind senators that yesterday evening after 6.30 pm a division was called on the closure motion moved by Senator McKim relating to a proposed reference to the Community Affairs Legislation Committee. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold that division now. For the sake of clarity, if the closure is not agreed to, the motion will be called on again for further debate at item 21 of today's Order of Business. The question is that the closure motion moved by Senator McKim be agreed to.
Sue Lines President

As the closure motion was agreed to, I'm now going to put Senator Antic's motion. The question is that a motion proposing a reference to the Community Affairs Legislation Committee, as moved by Senator Antic, be agreed to.

(In division) Cry me a river. Cry me a river. Stop! Stop! Excuse me.
Sue Lines President
Senator Thorpe, we're in the middle of a division. I've called order. That applies to you.
