I think, in light of this motion and the fact that that request has been made, I'll recommit the motion and request that the bells be rung for four minutes to enable all members to participate in the division. The question is that the motion moved by the Prime Minister 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 noes in this division, I declare the question resolved in the affirmative in accordance with standing order 127. The names of those members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings, as will those who are voting in favour of the motion. To assist the tellers, the member for Parkes is also appointed, alongside the member for Werriwa and the member for Bean.

Question agreed to.
