  • Motions Hanson, Senator Pauline; Censure
  • Motions - Hanson, Senator Pauline; Censure - Suspend standing orders

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion to suspend standing orders moved by Senator Hanson-Young be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2018-06-21.12.2) to suspend the usual parliamentary rules (known as [standing orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/standing-orders.html)) so that a vote could take place, which means it failed.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Hanson-Young moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter—namely, a motion to censure Senator Hanson for misleading the Senate by stating that she will not financially benefit from the government's proposed income tax cuts.*
