18th Feb 2021, 12:39 PM – Senate Motions - Bombing of Darwin: 79th Anniversary, Fiji: Cyclone Yasa - Let a vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Tasmanian Senator Jonathon Duniam (Liberal), which means it passed. This was a motion to suspend standing orders, which are the usual procedural rules of parliament. Because it was passed, a further two motions could be moved and voted on immediately.
Motion text
That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent general business notices of motion Nos. 1001 and 1006 being moved together immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
Votes Passed by a large majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
