Senator Rose Conway-Walsh proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 9, motion 1 be taken today." Is it being pressed?

Comment on this

Out of respect for the work the Leader is trying to do and given that we are trying to work together to resolve this, because we agree on the need for reform, although we are not at a stage yet where his position is robust enough for not agreeing to take the amendment, I will bring it up again next week under the Order of Business if we cannot reach agreement in the meantime.
