Title
Motions — Covid-19: International Travel, Coal Mining, Reconciliation Week- Motions - Reconciliation Week - This year's theme
Description
<p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question is that clause (b) of motion 1100 be agreed to.</p> - The majority voted in favour of clause (b) of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-05-13.58.1) introduced by the Labor Party, which means it succeeded. Motions like these don't make any legal changes on their own, but they can be politically influential because they represent the will of the Senate.
- Queensland Senators [Gerard Rennick](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/gerard_rennick) and [Matthew Canavan](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/matthew_canavan) both [crossed the floor](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/crossing-the-floor/) to vote 'Yes' while the rest of the Coalition voted 'No'.
