  • <p class="speaker">Claire Moore</p>
  • <p>I have a question around the motion in terms of the formality. My understanding is that the motion that we moved meant that there was no request about formality.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p>
  • <p>Thank you, Senator Moore. That is a good clarification. We will deal with them without seeking formality and follow the order. We will go down each item. That motion has now been moved. You did move that Senator Di Natale?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Richard Di Natale</p>
  • <p>Yes, I did.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p>
  • <p>The question is that notice of motion No. 1117 be agreed to.</p>
