Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (17:22): The reason I'm now confused is that the Greens asked for this to be taken separately in order to vote against the bit that is coming. The PRESIDENT: I was seeking advice from the Clerk earlier. The way this was drafted, and what inadvertently caused a little confusion in our first hour back, was that the phrase 'excluding government business' should have been in a separate part of the amendment. Senator CORMANN: Sure, but the Greens asked for it to be taken separately so they could vote for (a) and against (b), and now they're seeking to amend (b), which they were going to oppose. So they didn't actually want to vote against (b). The PRESIDENT: I will be charitable on our opening night and say that I think the standing order suspension motion and the wording of the amendment have created a touch of confusion.
