Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Bradfield MP Paul Fletcher (Liberal), which means it passed. This meant that the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - would be suspended to allow another vote take place immediately.

In this case, the Government was seeking to suspend standing orders in order to immediately vote on an Opposition motion. The Opposition did not want to vote on it now.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Grayndler's private Members' business notice relating to the disallowance of the Australian Postal Corporation (Performance Standards) Amendment (2020 Measures No. 1) Regulations 2020, and presented to the House on 10 June 2020, being called on immediately.

Votes Passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
