Juvenile Criminal Responsibility and Treatment Bill (Law'd)

I motion for the errant not to be removed by friendly amendment.

Alright, the errant will not be removed by friendly amendment.

Senators have 24 hours not to object.

I think you mean to say that the errant not will be removed by friendly amendment.

I think you mean to say that the errant "not" will be removed by friendly amendment.

I was just kidding. The lack of the "s makes Jas' point incredibly easy to misread. Note the "not to object".

I know, I know.

10 is fine with me Lewis. I accept it as a friendly amendment to my amendment, and have made the change.

Senators have 24 hours to object.

Silly me. As this wasn't part of the law yet, it's not a friendly amendment in the sense of the law, and Senators who object will just have to reintroduce the former version.

Wait a minute. When is a friendly amendment then in order? Surely it is prior to a proposed amendment becoming law, no?  Do you mean, that after an amendment has been agreed to, as amending the pending legislation, then an objection to a revision of the amendment  language agreed to  is in order, as opposed to before, and prior to the voting on the amendment starting, the proposer can make changes to the language at will?   That is probably it, isn't it?

Since what you proposed hasn't been formally incorporated into the text, what Lewis has proposed isn't a friendly amendment, but a change to a proposed amendment.
