Description
<p class="speaker">Ross Vasta</p><p>I have taken the view that the deferred division should not have proceeded until the member speaking at 8 pm had completed his speech, and so I did not interrupt the minister. In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved by the Minister for the Environment on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with standing orders. The question is that this bill be now read a second time.</p> - The majority voted in favour of a [http://www.openaustralia.org/debates/?id=2014-06-16.137.1 motion] to read this bill for a second time.[1] This means that the majority agree with the main idea of the bill and that they can now discuss it in more detail.
