10th Aug 2021, 12:49 PM – Senate Motions - Climate Change - Let a vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Waters moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change may be moved immediately and take precedence over all other business until determined.
In other words, they voted against suspending the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - that would have allowed the senator to move another motion.
