I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 1319 standing in my name relating to Halls Island on Lake Malbena in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area in the terms circulated in the chamber.

It's a very large amendment. Has it been circulated? I do have the power under the standing orders to strike material out of motions. This is a very, very large amendment. There is a standing order with respect to the nature of motions that we've been letting slip, and this is the longest one I've seen in a very long time.

Just for the edification of the Senate, the changes were circulated some time ago, but, in order to assist, I seek leave to postpone my motion until tomorrow. I'm in the hands of the chamber.

Leave granted.
