Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage
There was nobody here to move amendment No. 1. It was not moved.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 462 of 465 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I read out the group but there was nobody here to move amendment No. 1. None of the Senators listed as being behind it was here to move it.
We normally do not go through them amendment by amendment.
Since amendment No. 1 was not moved, we moved to the next amendment. We can discuss the amendments now. The Senator is welcome to come in on amendment No. 2 after Senator Murphy, if that is okay.
Great. Thank you, Senator.
