Senator BARTLETT (7:49 PM) —Madam President, I ask that the Senate divide this question as we are debating seven bills cognately and then voting on them. Whilst our position is consistent on all of them, there have been reports of a number of individual senators who have expressed concerns privately and publicly about the various bills. I think it is important to ensure that they have the opportunity to express their views clearly on each of these bills. I request that the vote for each of the seven bills be taken separately.


The PRESIDENT —Senator Bartlett, are you planning to vote differently on any of the bills?


Senator BARTLETT —No, I am not.


The PRESIDENT —Your request is denied.

Question put:

That the bills be now read a second time.
