Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia) (15:48): I seek leave to make a short comment. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator HANSON-YOUNG: I just wanted to add my support for the amendment but also point out very clearly that the Australian Greens did follow the protocol. We wrote to the government, asking that they did not schedule or suggest that this parliament sits during school holidays, because of the problems it created last year. At the end of last year, when we were discussing this year's calendar, there was quite a lot of comment in this place about how we would not again see the mistake of scheduling sitting weeks during school holidays. Twelve months on, it is as if those words were either (a) forgotten or (b) hollow in the first place. Frankly, I get a bit sick and tired of hearing the lip-service to how we should be encouraging more women into this parliament, when in fact very practical considerations could be made which would make it a much more workable place to be for women. I think it is appalling— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Siewert be agreed to. Question negatived. The PRESIDENT: The question now is that the motion moved by Senator Fifield be agreed to. Original question agreed to.
