The precedence motion that was passed by the Senate before provided for a substantive motion to be moved and carried that the Social Services Legislation Amendment Bill and the Family Assistance Legislation Amendment Bill be considered in a particular manner. The Senate has just agreed to consider the business in that order. Senator Wong may seek leave to move a motion. That has been denied. Now, by moving the contingent motion she is moving, she is moving a motion at variance with the resolution the Senate has just passed, and for that reason she is out of order.
