McKIM (—) (): Can I please indicate that the Greens have a different position on some of these motions and we would like the question to be put separately. Our position on Nos 61 and 62 is different to our position on motions Nos 63 to 65.

Senator McKim has indicated he wants them split out, so we will deal with general business notices of motion Nos 61 and 62 together. The question is that general business notices of motion Nos 61 and 62 be agreed to.

Question agreed to.

The question now is that general business notices of motion Nos 63 to 65, moved by Senator McDonald, be agreed to.
