  • <p class="speaker">Jacinta Collins</p>
  • <p>Yes, I would like to&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>This was actually to be determined without amendment or debate. I'll put the motion moved by Senator Cormann&#8212;Senator Pratt.</p>

  • <p>I'm just trying to work out what the future question before the chamber is, given that I have not yet moved a disallowance motion.</p>

  • <p>We'll deal with procedural matters following Senator Cormann's motion which is before the chair. I'll put this to a vote now. The question is that the motion moved by Senator Cormann be agreed to.</p>
