NAY

Wording needs to be changed, as does the format as it is slightly confusing.  I'll change my vote after that is fixed.

Govindia I don't believe it can be altered unless it's rewritten and passed as a Corrections Amendment. A bit silly, but there you go.

Aye, so we can get on with it

After consideration from the Committee,  I have decided to change my vote to

AYE

However, I believe for future legislation regarding amendments, that the text that is being amended be put in the bill as well showing the difference in changes.  Other legislatures do that as that is general convention for legislation regarding amendment proposals.   I believe that is reasonable and logical.
