I seek leave to amend government business notice of motion No. 1.

Leave granted.

I amend the motion by omitting 'for a period of up to 90 minutes'. The full text of the revised motion has been circulated in the chamber. I move the motion as amended:

That on Wednesday, 13 September 2023, consideration of the business before the Senate be interrupted at approximately 5 pm, but not so as to interrupt a senator speaking, to allow senators to make valedictory statements relating to Senator Payne.

President, I seek clarification about whether that amendment—removing the 90 minutes—impacts on the no division rule after 6.30.

I heard a chorus of voices say no, it doesn't.

Question agreed to.
