Senator BOLKUS (4:15 PM) —The opposition does not support this amendment, essentially for the same reasons as the government. It has not been part of the process that has been recommended through the ConCon or through the committee and we do not know whether it is going to be an issue at the end of the day—that is, as to whether a President will be seeking a third term. As the minister says, I am sure they will not be, but we do not see a need to amend the legislation in the way suggested by Senator Murray.


The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN (Senator Bartlett) —The question is that the amendment moved by Senator Murray be agreed to.

Question resolved in the negative.
