Yes. That's alright. There was some confusion at this end of the chamber. The division continues.

Halt the division. Yes, Senator McKim. I have just worked out what we're doing, so I'm going to halt the division. There are two motions in the name of Senator Hodgins-May. I thank the table staff for alerting me to this. We should have gone to No. 712 before No. 711, which is the substantive consideration of notice of motion No. 711, and then we were voting on No. 712 before coming back to No. 711, because one deals with the consideration of the previous motion. I think No. 711 was moved, but that was my error. So I'm going to start again. I apologise.

I know. It has been a long week. I'm going to ask Senator Hodgins-May to move No. 712, and then we will wind our way to No. 711.
