In accordance with standing order 133(b), I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier today by the honourable member for Kennedy 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 amendments 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 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 Katter voting no.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.
