I move:
That the application of the standing orders, presidential rulings and past practices for the order of call to speak in debate (as outlined in the Procedure Committee's Second report of 1991) be updated by adding, "that the leader of a minority party, as defined by section 3 of the Parliamentary Entitlements Act 1990, be given the call after an Opposition senator leading for the Opposition but before a leader of other non-government parties".
Question put.
The Senate divided. [15:57]
(Deputy President—Senator Parry)
Question negatived.
