Senator CHISHOLM (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Regional Development, Assistant Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Assistant Minister for Resources and Deputy Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (16:24): I ask if motion No. 224 could be recommitted. I was slightly not paying attention and didn't call a division on that. I believe it was called for the ayes when I don't think that actually reflects the will of the chamber.

Leave not granted. The PRESIDENT: I am going to explain to the Senate that when we recommit matters, or when matters are put up for recommitting and leave is sought, the general practice is that, if an explanation has been given—which it has been—the matter is recommitted, because it needs to be a vote which reflects the Senate. So I am going to put that question again.

Is leave granted? Leave granted. The PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 224, standing in the name of Senator Payman, be agreed to.
