Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (15:51): On behalf of the opposition, I ask that we split (b)(i) and (b)(ii). The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: You wish to vote differently on the bills which would go into the substantive motion? Senator McGRATH: Yes.

The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: What I think I'm going to do, subject to remonstrations from the table staff, is put the question as to whether the chamber agrees to (b)(i). Then, depending on the answer to that, I will put the remainder of the motion. The question is that part (b)(i) be included in the motion.
