Senator ALSTON (Communications, Information Technology and the Arts) (9:47 AM) —by leave—There was certainly a misunderstanding right across this side of the chamber. It was certainly our intention that there be a debate on the matter. We were quite happy—and I think it is understood on all sides—that the suspension motion should be supported. Beyond that, we will be voting against it.


The PRESIDENT —You did vote against it. There was a no call from my right.


Senator ALSTON —At the end of the debate we will be voting against it, but we wish to have the debate. I seek leave to have the motion recommitted.
