Mr Corbell: No.

Mr Gentleman: The noes have it.

MR SPEAKER: The noes have it.

Mr Seselja: Sorry. The noes have what?

MR SPEAKER: Order, please!

Mr Seselja: The question has been resolved.

Mrs Burke: You resolved it, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: I have called the vote. The question that was put to the house was the gag—that the question be put. I put that question and I declared it—that the ayes have it.

Mr Seselja: Thank you.

Mrs Burke: Yes.

Mr Corbell: Mr Speaker, the noes have it.

Mr Seselja: No. This has been resolved. Mr Speaker, they missed the boat. They were not paying attention. The question now is that the report be noted.

Mr Gentleman: You heard me say the noes have it, Mr Seselja. You cannot ignore that.

MR SPEAKER: No. He is entitled to call a vote.

Mr Seselja: You did not say it.

Mr Gentleman: I did.
