Title
Motions — Assistant Treasurer- Motions - Assistant Treasurer - Don't let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by the member for Blaxland be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2020-09-02.17.2) introduced by Blaxland MP [Jason Clare](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/blaxland/jason_clare) (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.
