Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The minister? No, sorry, Minister&#8212;we've got to do the question on the substantive motion. The question is that the motion moved by the member for Sydney be agreed to&#8212;or disagreed to. The question is that the motion moved by the minister be agreed to. The Manager of Opposition Business?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2020-09-01.124.1) to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - so that the House can vote on whether to pass the bill - known as giving it a [third reading](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) - without delay.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.*
  • <p>I think we've had a suspension motion to allow the minister to move something&#8212;is that what we've done? I'm trying to work out where we're up to.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Well, the minister moved that the question be put&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p>
  • <p>Right.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Right!</p>
  • <p>Honourable members interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • <p>Well, he did. It's even up there on the board. He did.</p>
  • <p>Honourable members interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • <p>Well, that's the question I put, and you've all voted accordingly. He did, the second time. So he's moved that the question be put, okay? The question is that the motion for the suspension of standing orders be agreed to.</p>
