Mr Speaker, I have a question to you further to your earlier ruling and the comments from the Leader of the House. I'm advised that the amendment that was moved by the coalition was moved at 1.45, contrary to the resolution of the House, and was therefore put in breach of the resolution of the House. Given that that was the same ruling, according to the Leader of the House, that was relied upon to prevent the member for Warringah moving her amendment, I seek your advice about whether that is the case. If in fact the amendment moved by the opposition was put in breach of the resolution of the House, and after that, I ask whether it is appropriate to have that recommitted.

The resolution of the House, and the decision of the House, was made when the vote was taken. The time had not been pointed out, but once that had been passed and the time was pointed out, the remaining stages of the bill were approved. But I shall report back to the member with more information.
