I am conscious that we are moving rapidly towards the cut-off. I do have a question for Senator Birmingham. In his request that the chamber consider recommitting Senator Patrick's amendment on sheet 1321, the minister indicated that the call had been wrong. Can I just seek clarification? It's not my understanding that the call was wrong; it's my understanding that Minister Hume voted the wrong way, which I would observe is a continuation of a debacle of a process throughout the entirety of the morning.
