Yesterday evening, at 6.30 pm, a division was called on the motion moved by Senator Hanson relating to a proposed reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee:

That the following matter be referred to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee for inquiry and report by 6 December 2024:

The effectiveness of the operation of the native title system, and options to improve:

(a) the economic development resulting from native title; and

(b) certainty over the claim process.

I understand that it now suits the convenience of the Senate for the deferred vote to be held now. The question is that the deferred motion from yesterday evening, standing in the name of Senator Hanson, be agreed to.
