  • Bills — Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016; First Reading
  • Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016 - First Reading - Put the question

Description

  • The PRESIDENT: The question is that the question be now put.
  • The majority voted in favour of the following [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2016-03-02.11.2) put by Liberal Senator [George Brandis](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/george_brandis):
  • > *That the question be now put.*
  • This is a '[closure of debate](http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/aso/so199)' motion, which means it ends debate on a particular question so that the Senate can vote immediately on it. Basically, this motion is to speed things along.
  • ### What was the question?
  • The question that could then be asked without further debate was:
  • > *That a motion to exempt these bills from the bills cut-off order may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
