Title
Motions — Hemp Industry- Motions - Hemp Industry - Suspend the usual rules
Description
<p class="speaker">Peter Whish-Wilson</p><p>I ask that general business notice of motion No. 1143, about the hemp industry, be taken as formal.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-06-21.147.1):
- > *That so much of the [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) be suspended as would prevent Senator Whish-Wilson making a statement about notice of motion No. 1143.*
- In other words, they voted against suspending the usual procedural rules to allow Tasmanian Senator [Peter Whish-Wilson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/tasmania/peter_whish-wilson) (Greens) to make his statement.
<p>Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? There is an objection.</p> <p class="speaker">Peter Whish-Wilson</p><p>I seek leave to make a very short statement, of just 30 seconds.</p><p>Leave not granted.</p><p>Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Whish-Wilson moving the motion immediately and the motion being determined without amendment or debate.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>Senator Whish-Wilson, are you seeking to suspend to make a statement or to put the motion?</p> <p class="speaker">Peter Whish-Wilson</p><p>I might suspend to make a statement if that gives me five minutes to make a statement.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>It's your call to make, not mine to advise.</p> <p class="speaker">Peter Whish-Wilson</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Whish-Wilson making a statement about notice of motion No. 1143.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>I remind senators that we are voting to suspend standing orders to allow Senator Whish-Wilson to make a short statement. The question is that the motion as moved by Senator Whish-Wilson to suspend be agreed to.</p>
