Title
Motions — Covid-19: Aged Care- Motions - Covid-19: Aged Care - Don't let another vote take place
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by the member for Franklin be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2020-09-02.141.2) introduced by Franklin MP [Julie Collins](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/franklin/julie_collins) (Labor), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - so that another vote could take place. Since it failed, that second vote won't happen.
