Sarah Hanson-Young (SA, Australian Greens) Share this | Hansard source

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would have called a division, but, given the social-distancing practices we're undertaking, I would ask that every party's vote be recorded in Hansard.

The CHAIR: Thank you, Senator Hanson-Young. We'll make sure that the Greens' opposition is agreed to. I'm just seeking the advice of the Clerk as to whether all parties' votes can be recorded. Senator Hanson-Young, you can record your support for your amendment.

I would like some clarification on this because I understood that the Labor Party voted against this amendment. I also understood that the Liberal Party voted against this amendment.

The CHAIR: Yes; that's correct.

The Greens are voting for it. I think Centre Alliance are voting for it and supporting it. I would like that recorded in Hansard because, otherwise, I may as well call a division so it's very clear as to where the parties stand.

The CHAIR: May I suggest you seek leave and, if leave is agreed to, that's how it can be recorded. Can we take it that you seek leave?

I seek leave.

Leave granted.

The CHAIR: Leave is granted, so it will be recorded as you outlined—your support for the amendment—and we have, in this place, the acknowledgement of the government and the Labor opposition that they're not supporting the amendment. Senator Patrick.
