Safe Work Australia Bill 2008; Safe Work Australia (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2008
In Committee
9:11 pm
The Temporary Chairman:
We now have opposition amendments (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) and Australian Greens amendment (2), which is identical to opposition amendment (6). In relation to the discussion that occurred earlier, Senator Abetz, where you sought advice from the clerks, I would put to you that the opposition could proceed to move, by leave, the three sets of amendments, (2) to (6). The questions will need to be put separately. As the Australian Greens amendment (2) is exactly the same as the opposition amendment (6) it would presumably then not need to be proceeded with, depending upon the outcome of the vote. So I now invite you, Senator Abetz, to move your three amendments together by leave, if that is the wish of the chamber.
