I move general business notice of motion No. 712:

That general business notice of motion no. 711, relating to the public release of economic modelling on the impact of caps and curfews on Brisbane Airport, be called on immediately after formal business on Wednesday, 27 November 2024, take precedence over all other business and be determined without amendment or debate.

The question is that the motion be agreed.

A division having been called and the bells being rung—

Could we just halt the division? I was under the impression that this is No. 711, on Brisbane airport economic modelling. Senator Hodgins-May, that's your first one?

Yes, I think the wording on my sheet might be wrong. My apologies.

I just want to make sure that we're dividing on the right thing.

I ask that general business notice of motion No. 711 be taken as a formal motion.

Yes. That's alright. There was some confusion at this end of the chamber. The division continues.

Halt the division. Yes, Senator McKim. I have just worked out what we're doing, so I'm going to halt the division. There are two motions in the name of Senator Hodgins-May. I thank the table staff for alerting me to this. We should have gone to No. 712 before No. 711, which is the substantive consideration of notice of motion No. 711, and then we were voting on No. 712 before coming back to No. 711, because one deals with the consideration of the previous motion. I think No. 711 was moved, but that was my error. So I'm going to start again. I apologise.

I know. It has been a long week. I'm going to ask Senator Hodgins-May to move No. 712, and then we will wind our way to No. 711.

The question before the Senate is that notice of motion No. 712, standing in the name of Senator Hodgins-May—consideration of notice of motion No. 711—be agreed to.
