  • Motions - Bombing of Darwin: 79th Anniversary, Fiji: Cyclone Yasa - Let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Jonathon Duniam</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move general business notices of motion Nos. 1001 and 1006 together and for the motions to be determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-02-18.91.2) introduced by Tasmanian Senator [Jonathon Duniam](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/tasmania/jonathon_duniam) (Liberal), which means it passed. 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. Because it was passed, a further [two motions](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-02-18.93.1) could be moved and voted on immediately.
