The Greens will not be supporting these amendments. Any election held after 1 July should be under the new Senate voting system. That is what we are establishing here, and this would rewind that. So, I would urge that senators do not support these amendments.

The CHAIRMAN: The question is that amendments (4) and (5) on sheet 7887, moved by Senator Muir, be agreed to.

Question negatived.

The CHAIRMAN: The question now before the chair is that amendment (1) on sheet 7882, moved by Senator Rhiannon, be agreed to.
