Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another motion be introduced.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Di Natale moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion relating to an amendment to Senator Williams's motion on dental services.

Votes Passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
