Senators and parties who are minded to submit amendments on Report Stage cannot just come in fresh. If Senators wish to discuss an amendment on Report Stage, it would have to be raised with the Minister in today in some form. If a Senator does not speak to the section today, he or she cannot table amendments on Report Stage. Some discussion on the relevant amendment - however shallow or deep - should be made today to allow Senators, parties or groups to come back in and table the amendment next week.
