The PRESIDENT (15:46): The question now is that the amendments on sheets JC580, JC574, JC575, JC576, JC577, JC578 and JC579, circulated by the government, be agreed to. Senator Bernardi. Senator Bernardi: Mr President, as these amendments deal with different substantive issues in relation to home affairs and border protection, I request that they be put individually. The PRESIDENT: Are you indicating that you're voting separately on the amendments, Senator Bernardi? Senator Bernardi: Indeed I am. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, on a point of order? Senator McKim: Mr President, you just read through a number of amendments. My point of order is: could Senator Bernardi confirm that he will be voting differently on all of them, and whether or not there is any opportunity to form a subgroup of those amendments so that we can vote on some of them together. The PRESIDENT: Senator Bernardi. Senator Bernardi: I would love to form a subcommittee and discuss this further, and reconsider it in the new year! As it stands, I'd love to run through them. The PRESIDENT: No, Senator Bernardi, this is not a chance for debate. Senator Bernardi: Sheet JC580 relates to the commencement— The PRESIDENT: Senator Bernardi, please resume your seat. Senator McKim, I take senators' requests at face value on this. Senators who do not reflect different votes will be considered out of order, and I will treat subsequent requests through that prism.
