1st Dec 2021, 3:12 PM – Senate Business - Consideration of Legislation - Let a vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - so that another vote can take place.
Motion text
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to the consideration of legislation may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
Votes Passed by a modest majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
