Description
<p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by Senator Cormann, the substantive motion, be agreed to.</p><p>Question agreed to.</p>- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2019-11-14.94.1) to "put the question". In other words, they voted to stop debate and vote on the question straight away. It was introduced by WA Senator [Mathias Cormann](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/mathias_cormann) (Liberal).
<p class="speaker">Mathias Cormann</p><p>I seek leave to move a motion relating to the consideration of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Streamlined Governance) Bill 2019.</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 him moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide for a limitation of debate on the bill.</p><p>And I move:</p><p class="italic">That the question be now put.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question now is the procedural motion moved by Senator Cormann, that the suspension of standing orders be now put.</p> <p class="speaker">Jordon Steele-John</p><p>I seek leave of the chamber to make a statement of no longer than one minute.</p><p>Leave not granted.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>I'm going to put the procedural motion—Senator Wong on a point of order?</p> <p class="speaker">Penny Wong</p><p>I'd ask the government to reconsider that. I understand the government has the numbers to gag this debate. You've just moved a motion which prevents suspension—</p><p>Government senators interjecting—</p><p>Well, generally governments have allowed a debate on the suspension motion, because it is—</p><p class="italic">Senator Abetz interjecting—</p><p>Eric, even you did, mate.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>Senator Wong, I've granted some discretion.</p> <p class="speaker">Penny Wong</p><p>I'm asking the government to reconsider the denial of leave, given you are moving this without amendment or debate. I may not agree with him, but he has a right to speak.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>I'm in the hands of the Senate. Leave was denied, so I'm now required to put the procedural motion that Senator Cormann moved. Senator Steele-John?</p> <p class="speaker">Jordon Steele-John</p><p>Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of standing orders be suspended—</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>Senator Steele-John, I can't deal with that until I dispose of the two matters before the chair, the first of which is the procedural motion moved by Senator Cormann that the question now be put. The question is that the procedural motion moved by Senator Cormann be agreed to.</p>
