Senator Moore's motion went to more than that. It said that it report by an October date. She has reframed her motion, as I understand it, to say it goes to the transport committee by 10 October. Senator Fifield is moving an amendment to say it goes to a different committee. That is the motion. That is what I was asking be read out to make sure it is absolutely clear. Perhaps I could ask again whether Senator Moore's motion, which she has accepted an amendment to, be read, and then Senator Fifield's motion be read.

The Clerk: The amendment as moved by Senator Moore and amended by leave by Senator Moore says: 'At the end of the motion to adopt the Selection of Bills Committee add: "But in respect of the Shipping Legislation Amendment Bill 2015, the provisions of the bill be referred immediately to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 12 October 2015". Senator Fifield's amendment is "to omit Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee and replace it with Economics Legislation Committee".'
