Title

  • Business Rearrangement
  • Business - Rearrangement - Put the question

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Mathias Cormann</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move a motion to vary the hours of meeting and routine of business for today, to provide for the consideration of a disallowance motion.</p>
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>Pursuant to contingent notice standing in the name of the Leader of the Government in the Senate, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to the hours of meeting and routine of business may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • <p>And I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the motion now be put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Cormann be agreed to. The motion moved by Senator Cormann was 'That the question be now put,' before we move to the suspension question.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a motion:
  • > *That the question be now put.*
  • This means that debate will end and instead the vote on [the question](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/divisions/senate/2018-03-27/11) will happen straight away.
