Remember to preserve the paper trail for the wiki editing at the end of the line. Someone will thank you for it.

Technically this should go directly to an up or down vote on the senate passed version.

Thanks, Yankee. I've been in a bit of a rush to get everything where it needs to be, so I just took the amendment Ted posted.

Hopefully now, everything's straightened out.

I have requested that my party's caucus vote this amendment down. I urge non-Labor members to also reject the amendment unanimously.
