I seek leave to be the very first member to refer a bill to the Federation Chamber for further consideration.

Most certainly.

I thank the honourable member for Scullin and I note that leave was also given by the honourable member for Cowper.

I would have thought that the leave from the member for Scullin would have been sufficient. I move:
That the Marriage Amendment Bill 2012 be referred to the Federation Chamber for further consideration.
Question agreed to.
