Stephen Parry (Tasmania, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

Senator Abetz, I have been advised that I cannot entertain a motion of that nature considering the result of the previous motion. The next question needs to be put first. The question now is that government business notice of motion No. 2 be agreed to.

Question put:

That the motion (Senator Ludwig's) be agreed to.

The Senate divided. [10:27]

(The Deputy President—Senator Parry)

Senator Feeney did not vote, to compensate for the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Coonan.

Question agreed to.
