Title
Business — Consideration of Legislation- Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2018 - Second Reading - Criminal records
Description
<p class="speaker">Penny Wong</p><p><i>(In division) </i>Senators are moving whilst a division is being counted. I'd ask them to return to the side of the chamber on which they were. I know they deliberately sat there to waste time. What a travesty! Mr President, they ought not be allowed to move. These Liberal senators deliberately did this.</p>-

<p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>Senator Wong, resume your seat. I had not concluded calling the division and asking senators to take their seats. If people want me to apply that rule strictly, there would have been quite a few people caught out in the last hour and a half. I had not concluded calling that division. Senator Macdonald, on a point of order?</p> <p class="speaker">Ian Macdonald</p><p>Mr President, again you are making a ruling and the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate is shouting, turning her back to you and doing her normal theatrics. It's just bad manners as well as a breach of the standing orders.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The standing orders don't have manners in them; that might be an amendment we consider!</p><p>I will now put the amendments on sheet LX141 moved by the government to the amendments moved by Senator Storer and the Greens.</p><p class="italic"> <i>Government's circulated amendments—</i></p><p class="italic">(1) After proposed subsection 198C(5), insert:</p><p class="italic">(5A) An officer must not bring a person to Australia from a regional processing country in accordance with subsections (3) to (5) if the officer knows or reasonably suspects that the person has a substantial criminal record as defined in s 501(7).</p><p>The question is the amendments on sheet LX141 be agreed to.</p> -
