Housing—energy efficiency

MS LE COUTEUR (Molonglo) (5.01): First off, I have to seek leave to move an amendment to the motion circulated in my name. It is due purely to poor writing.

Leave granted.

MS LE COUTEUR: Thank you. I move:

Omit paragraph (2)(h), substitute:

Amendment agreed to.

MS LE COUTEUR: I move my amended motion:
