The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Roberts be agreed to.

A division having been called and the bells being rung—

Lock the doors. Before I put the question on the amendment moved by Senator Roberts, I remind senators that when a division is called it requires more than one voice. On this occasion I am fairly certain that the second voice came from the Jacqui Lambie Network. Under standing order 100 you can't seek to vote for an amendment and then vote against the amendment, so at this point that amendment is not carried. I'm going to put the substantive motion. I am happy, Senator Roberts, to record your support for that amendment. That has now lapsed.

I now put the question on the substantive motion, which is the hours motion moved by Senator Chisholm. It's an hours motion in relation to Friday the 24th. It has been circulated. The question is that that motion be agreed to.

Question agreed to.
