"content": "“Where the Speaker issues directions under paragraph (2), a Senator who speaks to the amendment shall not be entitled, after the amendment has been disposed of, to speak to the Motion, and any Senator who has already spoken to the Motion may in speaking to the amendment speak, only to any new matter raised thereby”. In my opinion, no new matter was raised, but the mistake that was done was that we introduced the amendments to this Motion very early in the debate. Therefore, it completely made it impossible for most Senators to contribute to the Motion before it was amended. If and when you want to allow Senators to speak to the amendment, then the person moving the amendment should ordinarily wait and introduce it after most of the Senators have spoken. That gives those Senators who have spoken an opportunity to speak to the amendment. That is what happened in this case. If we do not have any further interest, I now call upon the Mover to reply."
