Title

  • Business Consideration of Legislation
  • Business - Consideration of Legislation - Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Sunsetting Review and Other Measures) Bill 2021

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Jonathon Duniam</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of standing order 111 not apply to the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Sunsetting Review and Other Measures) Bill 2021, allowing it to be considered during this period of sittings.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-08-10.115.1):
  • > *That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of standing order 111 not apply to the [Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment (Sunsetting Review and Other Measures) Bill 2021](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=s1310), allowing it to be considered during this period of sittings.*
  • In other words, the majority voted 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/) - so that that bill could be considered in this sitting period.
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Duniam be agreed to.</p>
