Title

  • Business Consideration of Legislation
  • Business - Consideration of Legislation - Suspend the procedural rules

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the suspension motion moved by Senator Wong be agreed to.</p>
  • <p>The question is that the substantive motion moved by Senator Cormann be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [suspension motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2018-06-20.129.1) introduced by South Australian Senator [Penny Wong](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/penny_wong) (Labor), which means it failed. The motion would have amended the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_procedure) - in order to let Senator Wong make a statement.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from making a statement.*
