Title
Bills — Water Legislation Amendment (Inspector-General of Water Compliance and Other Measures) Bill 2021; Consideration of House of Representatives Message- Water Legislation Amendment (Inspector-General of Water Compliance and Other Measures) Bill 2021 - Consideration of House of Representatives Message - Dissent from ruling
Description
<p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>I've received further advice from the Clerk on this matter, so I need to correct something I said earlier. The Clerk says the motion on the medevac message allowed a short debate, but the point remains that 'put immediately' means without debate—that is, only statements by leave are in order—which is consistent with exactly what I said prior to adding the note about the medevac message. My apologies for that error. I assume, Senator Waters, your question is that the Senate dissent from my ruling on what 'put immediately' means.</p> <p class="speaker">Larissa Waters</p>- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-06-24.206.1) "*That the ruling of the President be dissented from*", which was introduced by Queensland Senator [Larissa Waters](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/larissa_waters) (Greens). This means it failed.
- ### What does this motion mean?
- Senator Waters is [opposing a ruling](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-06-24.201.1) by the President that "putting the question immediately means putting it immediately without debate."
<p>Yes. I move:</p><p class="italic">That the ruling of the President be dissented from.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Waters be agreed to.</p>
