I move:

(1)

Omit “on each calendar day from”, substitute “today,”.

(2)

Paragraph (a), before “6.30 pm”, insert “12.30 pm, 1.30 pm to”.

The main reason to include a lunch hour as well as a dinner break is that I am thinking in particular of Senator Xenophon and Senator Fielding. They have to maintain presences in this chamber throughout the entire debate, and I think it is only fair that they have the opportunity to leave the chamber on two separate occasions.
