I merely make the point that there are reasons for grouping amendments. Grouping of a series of amendments is not something that is done on an ad hoc basis. We have had a history of grouping amendments in the context of this legislation, which has given rise to a certain confusion on the part of Senators. I merely make the point that if a grouping has been put forward, that has been done a sound and good reason. That is why I would encourage Senators to deal with the issue as proposed.
