Title
Business — Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders- Business - Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders - Live sheep export trade
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by the Manager of Opposition Business be agreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2018-05-31.10.2) moved by Manager of Opposition Business and Watson MP [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.

- >> *(b) this morning without notice and with debate scheduled to run all day on this bill, the Government has today sought to delay its passage and silence debate; and*
- >
- > *(2) therefore, condemns this Government for delaying increased penalties in the livestock trade and silencing debate on the Member for Hunter’s amendments to phase out the live sheep export trade.*
