Description

  • <p class="speaker">Katy Gallagher</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">At the end of the motion, add: "and, in respect of the Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Bill 2023, the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee report on 8 November 2023."</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anne Ruston</p>
  • <p>nator RUSTON (&#8212;) (): I move an amendment to Senator Gallagher's amendment, as follows:</p>
  • <p class="italic">At the end of the motion, add:</p>
  • <p class="italic">"and, in respect of the provisions of the Water Amendment (Restoring our Rivers) Bill 2023, the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee report by 14 November 2023".</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Perin Davey</p>
  • <p>I want to support Senator Ruston's&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>Senator Davey, the time for the debate has now expired. The question is that the amendment to Senator Gallagher's amendment, as moved by Senator Ruston, be agreed to. Is a division required? Ring the bells for four minutes. Senator Urquhart?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anne Urquhart</p>
  • <p>Under standing order 101(3), I request that one-minute bells be rung for this division because we're all in the chamber. The pairs have not changed.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>Senators, you will observe that I have at all times sought from the whips the length of time that they require to sort the pairs. If one whip wants one minute and the other whip wants four minutes, I have consistently gone with four minutes. Ring the bells for four minutes. The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Ruston to Senator Gallagher's amendment be agreed to.</p>
