Description

  • <p class="speaker">Jonathon Duniam</p>
  • <p>I move general business notice of motion Nos 1031 and 1032 together:</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of clause (b) of [motion 1031](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-02-24.401.2), which means it was successful. Motions like these don't make any legal changes on their own, but they can be politically influential as they represent the will of the Senate.
