Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion moved by Labor Senator Jacinta Collins that the question now be put.

The question referred to was a motion moved by Liberal Senator Mathias Cormann that:

...so much of standing order 142 be suspended as would prevent further consideration of the bill without limitation of time.(To learn more about standing orders, see this Fact Sheet. )

This means that the majority were in favour of now voting on Senator Cormann's motion, rather than continuing to debate the issue.(The division on Senator Cormann's motion is available here.)
