Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016 - Second Reading - Agree with the main idea
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 87% attendance
2nd Mar 2016, 11:53 AM – Senate Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016 - First Reading - Suspend standing orders
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Liberal Senator George Brandis:
The question now is that the suspension motion moved by Senator Brandis be agreed to.
The suspension motion referred to is:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent a minister moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion to exempt the bill from the bills cut-off order may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
Basically, the majority are agreeing to speed things up.
Votes Passed by a small majority
