I am just going to ask a question—it is not going to be a long statement—to assist the chamber. There was a level of confusion, including because of a contribution by Senator Pratt during the division, as to whether it was going to the legislation or references committee. There is only one matter that is relevant to me now. If that had been very clearly understood, would any senator in this chamber have voted differently? If the answer is yes then I believe the vote would have to be put again. If the answer is no then the Senate can move on.
