Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question now is that the motion moved by Senator Birmingham be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-03-18.21.2) to ignore the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - to let another vote take place.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent [Senator Birmingham](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/simon_birmingham) moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to the consideration of legislation may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
