I remind senators that yesterday evening at 6.30 pm a division was called on the closure motion moved by Senator Watt relating to a proposed reference to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee. I understand that it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold that division now. For the sake of clarity, if the closure is not agreed to, the motion will be called on again for debate at item 20 of today's order of business.

I will put the question. The question is that the closure motion, as moved by Senator Watt, be agreed to.

Given that closure was agreed, the question now is that the motion proposing a reference to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee, moved by Senators Colbeck and Cadell, be agreed to.
