Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services, Minister for Women's Safety and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (19:11): With the indulgence of the chamber, I would just seek for the person who denied leave to perhaps reflect on that decision, on the basis that it is convention—and has been afforded to the Greens and many other parties in this chamber—that, when somebody has made a mistake in their vote and they seek to have that vote recommitted, it's allowed. So I would just ask that maybe we could ask Senator Rennick to seek leave again and for those at the end of the chamber to reconsider their position, on the basis that this has been a convention that has been afforded to them in the past. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: So I am in the hands of the chamber. Senator Rennick has sought leave to make a statement. Senator Hanson-Young, you're seeking the call?
