SenateWednesday 5 February 2025

BUSINESS

Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (16:41): I want to clarify that the substantive motion that is left is effectively just paragraphs (b) and (c). The PRESIDENT: That is correct. Senator McGRATH: That motion that was just put up also included the words 'that the Senate', and that was also deleted.

Senator Pocock, I think this means that the remaining motion no longer makes any sense. The PRESIDENT: I believe we can fix up a small technicality like that. Thank you for sharing it with the chamber.

Senator McGRATH: No worries. I think it's very important to clarify such things. I will hand over to Senator Pocock.

An honourable senator interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Can you get that in writing? It is in writing, because it's in the Hansard.
