by leave—The Greens will not be supporting that motion. We believe that this piece of legislation should be dealt with and should be kept on the Notice Paper.

by leave—It is coming over from the House of Representatives today, and therefore I can discharge this one. It will then come from the House of Representatives, and we will then deal with it, or at least it will then come back onto the Notice Paper.

Question agreed to.
