Thank you, Senator Macdonald, but under that order yesterday and the resolution of the Senate, once voting is commenced we complete a process. We are now going through that process until we complete it. There is no point of order. I ask senators to concentrate on the questions. The question now is, in respect of the Aviation Transport Security Amendment (Air Cargo) Bill 2011, that the amendment on sheet BR287, as circulated by the government, be agreed to.
