(The Speaker—Ms Anna Burke)

Question negatived.

In accordance with standing order 133(b) I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier by the honourable member for Melbourne, on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed. The question is that the member for Melbourne's amendment be agreed to.

A division having been called and the bells having been rung—

As there are fewer than five members on the side for the ayes, I declare the question resolved in the negative in accordance with standing order 127. The names of those members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.

Question negatived, Mr Bandt, Mr Wilkie and Mr Slipper voting yes.

Bill agreed to.
