I remind senators that, after 4.30 pm on Thursday, 19 September 2024, a division was called on a motion moved by Senator David Pocock concerning gambling advertising. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate for the deferred vote to be held now.

A mea culpa from me: I had intended to support the question that you put. I acknowledge that in fact there were no voices for the ayes, but I do ask as a courtesy to the chamber whether you'd consider recommitting that question to us.

It is Senator Pocock's deferred vote, so I would seek an explanation as to why Senator Pocock wasn't in here to actually move it.

I'm happy to oblige. I assumed that it would just come to a vote given that it was a deferred division when we couldn't take a division, and I was off to a ministerial briefing on legislation. I apologise. I would very much appreciate if we could have a division.

Senator Pocock, it did come to a vote. The vote was taken, and the vote was lost. But Senator McKim has sought leave to re-put the vote. Leave has been granted, so that's what I intend to do. The deferred vote from 19 September was on a motion moved by Senator David Pocock concerning gambling advertising. The question is that that motion be agreed to.
