Mr President, I seek leave to make a further amendment.

Leave granted.

I apologise for not giving forewarning about this, Senator Payne. Your amendment is just now being circulated. I move:

Paragraph (1), omit “That a select committee, to be known as the Select Committee on the Reform of the Australian Federation, be appointed at the conclusion of the Select Committee on the National Broadband Network, to”, substitute “That the following matter be referred to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee”

Omit paragraphs (2) to (13).

I would be happy to delay the matter until tomorrow if Senator Payne so wished.

Question negatived.

Original question agreed to.

Mr Deputy President, I ask that the opposition of the Australian Greens to that last motion be recorded.
