Title

  • Motions Crown Resorts
  • Motions - Crown Resorts - Don't let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by the Leader of the Greens be disagreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-02-15.44.1) introduced by Melbourne MP [Adam Bandt](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/melbourne/adam_bandt) (Greens), which means the motion 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/) - in order to let another vote take place.
  • ### Motion text
