Title
Motions — Crown Resorts: Donations to Political Parties- Motions - Crown Resorts: Donations to Political Parties - Let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by Senator Waters to suspend the standing orders be agreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-02-15.19.2) introduced by Queensland Senator [Larissa Waters](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/larissa_waters) (Greens), which means it failed. The motion was 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.
