No, it is not a Democrat amendment. I refer you to sheet 4928 revised. If you have a look at item 2 of Senator Fielding’s amendments which have been dealt with and voted against, you will find that it refers to ‘at the end of subsection 51(1)’ at (f), (g), (h) and (i). Subsection 51(1)(f) does not exist, as I understand it, in the bill; it exists in Senator Fielding’s amendment, item 2. If that item 2 has been rejected by the Senate in committee, surely you cannot move an amendment which includes a reference to an amendment which has been rejected.
