  • <p>The Greens propose to vote differently on some of the bills that are contained in the exemption, so we ask that the question on the Migration Amendment (Clarifying International Obligations for Removal) Bill 2021 be put separately.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Carol Brown</p>
  • <p>Yes, that's fine. We will do all the bills except for the Migration Amendment (Clarifying International Obligations for Removal) Bill 2021. The question is that the bills be exempted from the cut-off.</p>
  • <p>Question agreed to.</p>
  • <p>The question is that the Migration Amendment (Clarifying International Obligations for Removal) Bill 2021 be exempted from the cut-off.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-05-13.3.2) "*that the Migration Amendment (Clarifying International Obligations for Removal) Bill 2021 be exempted from the cut-off.*"
  • In other words, they voted in favour of ignoring the usual rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - in order to discuss that bill in this sitting period.
