  • <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p>
  • <p>This now gives the right for Senator Di Natale to move a motion.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Richard Di Natale</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2017-06-13.14.6) that the vote on whether to disallow the [Therapeutic Goods and Other Legislation Amendment (Narcotic Drugs) Regulation 2016](https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2016L01652) should be voted on again. This means that that vote [can now take place again](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/divisions/senate/2017-06-13/3).
  • ### What was the vote?
  • Senator Di Natale explains what this disallowance would restore the ability of terminally ill patients to access medicinal cannabis products. Read more about the regulation in its [explanatory memorandum](https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2016L01652/Explanatory%20Statement/Text) and the arguments for its disallowance in the [debate](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2017-06-13.4.2).
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the question on the motion to disallow the Therapeutic Goods and Other Legislation Amendment (Narcotic Drugs) Regulation 2016 be put again immediately.</p>
  • <p>In fact, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the question be now put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Stephen Parry</p>
  • <p>The question is that the question be now put.</p>
  • <p class="italic"> <i>A division having been called and the bells being rung&#8212;</i></p>
  • <p>Order! Is there consensus that the division bell should no longer be run as the division is not required? There being no objection to that course of action, there should be no division. The question now is that the motion moved by Senator Di Natale&#8212;that the vote on the Therapeutic Goods and Other Legislation Amendment (Narcotic Drugs) Regulation 2016 be recommitted&#8212;be agreed to.</p>
