I will now deal with the second reading amendment on sheet 1549 circulated by the opposition and the amendment to that second reading amendment circulated on sheet 1555 by Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

Opposition ' s circulated amendment

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate notes that these coronavirus response bills are a result of the Government's failure to properly prepare and plan for the COVID-19 pandemic".

Pauline Hanson ' s One Nation ' s circulated amendment—

Omit "the Government's failure", substitute "federal and state Liberal-National and Labor governments' failures".

We'll start with sheet 1555 from Pauline Hanson's One Nation. The question is that the amendment to the opposition's second reading amendment be agreed to.

Question negatived.
