- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2018-12-03.14.2) to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - in order to let another vote take place.
- ### Motion text
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Cormann moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to consideration of the bill may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
