I seek leave to alter the vote of Taito Phillip Field that was cast yesterday on the question that the Appropriation (Continuation of Interim Meaning of Funding for Parliamentary Purposes) Bill be now read a third time.
Madam SPEAKERIs there any objection to that course being followed? There is no objection. The correct result of the vote, therefore, would be Ayes 65, Noes 52. This does not affect the outcome of the vote.

I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. I am not really sure from that what the correction was. I would ask whether the vote of Mr Field cast was in favour of the bill and is now being cast in opposition of the bill.
That was my understanding of the numbers, yes. In fact, would the member please confirm that for the benefit of Mr Brownlee.
I thought that it was; there was no objection. I did not hear any objection. However, for the point of clarification, would the member please address Mr Brownlee’s question as to whether it was an “Aye” or a “No” that changed the vote.

The vote of Taito Phillip Field was cast for the Ayes when it should have been cast for the Noes. The correct result of the vote is, therefore, Ayes 65, Noes 52. This does not affect the outcome of the vote.
