It will be a matter of whether or not there are any amendments in detail, Member for Kennedy. I leave that to others other than the chair. The question therefore is that the 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 of the ayes in this division, I declare the question negatived 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 Katter and Mr Wilkie voting aye.

The question is that this bill now be read a second time—

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