Title
Motions — Pensions and Benefits- Motions - Pensions and Benefits - Don't let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Ross Vasta</p><p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion to suspend standing orders moved earlier today by the honourable member for Maribyrnong on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-06-15.5.2) introduced by Maribyrnong MP [Bill Shorten](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/maribyrnong/bill_shorten) (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/) - in order to let another vote take place.
