Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Siewert to suspend the standing orders be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2021-08-09.133.1) introduced by WA Senator [Rachel Siewert](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/rachel_siewert), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - to let another vote happen.
