Title
Motions — Tasmania: Australia Day Awards, Australia-United States Relationship, Apology to Australia's Indigenous Peoples: 13th Anniversary, International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day- Motions - Several subjects - Vote on all at once
Description
<p class="speaker">Katy Gallagher</p><p>I seek leave to move general business notices Nos 986, 989, 991 and 992 together and that they be determined without amendment or debate.</p><p>Leave not granted.</p>- The 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](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/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](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-02-16.114.1) being moved together immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
<p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Gallagher from moving these motions together and that they be determined without amendment or debate.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question is that so much of the standing orders be suspended as would allow Senator Gallagher to move a number of motions together to be taken as formal. The division requires an absolute majority.</p>
