Senator CONROY (1:54 PM) —Madam Temporary Chair, I thank you for the invitation to say something. Senator Murray, I am not sure whether you were suggesting that I was setting out to deliberately confuse or that it happened by accident because I was confused. In this instance, I think we are both confused, and Senator Kemp's contribution will only make matters worse. I am not sure why you need amendment (7) to go before or after. Given that you have the numbers to amend this part, I did not think it mattered whether or not it went before or after your amendment. You are taking what is, in effect, an expanded version of that section and putting it into a new spot. I think you would have unanimous support around the chamber to do that, so I am not sure why you are concerned about my amendment being moved first. I am not sure that it matters whether it goes first or second.


The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN —Clearly, we need you to help us, Senator Murray.
