8th Feb 2022, 1:18 PM – Senate Business - Rearrangement - Let a vote on no confidence happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion:
That so much of 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 lack of confidence in the government.
Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
Votes Not passed by a small majority
