Description

  • <p class="speaker">Barry O&#39;Sullivan</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) notes:</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2015-08-10.107.1) introduced by Queensland Senator [Barry O'Sullivan](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/barry_o'sullivan) (Nationals), which means it succeeded. Motions like these don't make any legal changes on their own, but are politically influential because they represent the will of the Senate.
