Title

  • Motions Jobseeker Payment, Jobkeeper Payment, Environmental Legislation
  • Motions - Jobseeker Payment, Jobkeeper Payment, Environmental Legislation - Let other votes happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Katy Gallagher</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move motions Nos 1005, 1007 and 1009 together, and that they be determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-02-18.82.1) introduced by ACT Senator [Katy Gallagher](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/act/katy_gallagher) (Labor), which means it failed. This was a motion to suspend [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - which are the usual procedural rules of parliament - in order to let other motions be moved and voted on immediately, without further debate.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent general business notices of motion 1005, 1007 and 1009 being moved together immediatedly and determined without amendment or debate.*
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving these motions and that that be determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion to suspend standing orders moved by Senator Gallagher be agreed to.</p>
