Senator Bernardi, for the operation of the chamber, I think that's a relatively simple amendment.

Senator Bernardi interjecting—

No. The provision here is to replace the reference to 'Education and Employment Legislation Committee' with 'Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee'. I'm going to put that proposed amendment to the amendment moved by Senator Ruston.

The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Urquhart to the amendment to the Selection of Bills committee report moved by Senator Ruston be agreed to. For clarity, the effect of the amendment, if passed, is that the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Removing Discrimination Against Students) Bill 2018 and all circulated amendments will be referred to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee. If the amendment is lost, it will stand in its original form and be referred to the Education and Employment Legislation Committee.
