I am not dismissing the need to fix typos in TB motions. Nobody is perfect after all. Having said that, rather than working on an amendment process, I rather see formalizing such TB motion-making process first, so we can be more certain no hasty motion is made.
Agree with the above.

Agree. Although Gawd help us if we need a friendly amendment process just to correct typos for crikey's sake. There needs to be some common sense involved.
