  • Motions - Climate Change - Let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">David Fawcett</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Waters be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-11-30.12.2) introduced by Queensland Senator [Larissa Waters](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/larissa_waters) (Greens), 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.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to Australia's climate targets.*
