I seek leave to revisit general business notice of motion No. 269 and to recommit for a vote the motion standing in the name of Senator Hume relating to an order for the production of documents.
Leave granted.

Senator Hanson-Young, did you have a question?

I did, Madam President. Normally, when we ask for a vote to be recommitted, there's an explanation.

On behalf of the coalition, I'm happy to do so. I understand one or our senators came in when they shouldn't have and was counted in the vote. We'd like to have it recommitted so it reflects the will of the Senate.

The question is that general business notice of motion No. 269, standing in the name of Senator Hume but moved by Senator Cadell, be agreed to.
Question negatived.
