Mr Acting Deputy President, I rise on a point of order. The Senate has already determined that the motion which I was seeking to move and have indeed moved would be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate. There is currently a question before the chair. Senator Wong sought leave to suspend standing orders to move an amendment to the motion that I had moved. The Senate determined that that should not happen. Senator Wong is now seeking to bring an entirely different question before the chamber. She is not seeking to amend my motion, so the motion which I have moved needs to be determined before there can be another question put before the chamber.
