The question is that the motion moved by Senator Fifield be agreed to—I should say 'as amended'. Those of that opinion say 'aye', those against say 'no'. Oh, sorry, that was not amended. It has been a long 30-something hours. We have just agreed that we can all go home, I think—that was the motion. Everyone has agreed to that, I take it. There is no dissent.

Question agreed to.

Can I also add my thanks to staff. I want to echo, in particular, the words of Senator Rhiannon when she clearly articulated her thanks to a number of people in this building over the past 24 to 48 hours. Thank you. I bid all staff here and every senator safe travelling home.

Honourable senators: Hear, hear!

The Senate stands adjourned and will meet again on Tuesday, 10 May 2016 at 12.30 pm.
