16th Feb 2021, 4:52 PM – Senate Motions - Several subjects - Vote on all at once
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of voting on four separate motions all at once. In parliamentary jargon, it was a vote to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament, known as standing orders.
Motion text
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent general business notices of motion nos 986, 989, 991 and 992 being moved together immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
Votes Passed by a modest majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
