The Greens will not support these amendments. You could call them Senator Leyonhjelm's Trojan horse, trying to get OPV into the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives system for preferential voting is a very important part of how we elect the House of Representatives, and that should remain as it is.

The CHAIRMAN: The question now is that amendment (1) on sheet 7853 be agreed to.
