13th May 2021, 1:06 PM – Senate Business - Rearrangement - Let a vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion:
That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter—namely a motion to provide that a motion proposing to vary the order agreed to earlier today may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament. Because this vote was successful, another motion could be introduced and voted on immediately.
