Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that clause (c) of motion No. 362 be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of clauses (c) of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2019-12-05.105.2) introduced by SA Senator [Sarah Hanson-Young](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/sarah_hanson-young) (Greens), which means they passed. Motions like these don't make any legal changes on their own but they are politically influential because they represent the will of the Senate.
