Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion to suspend the standing orders - which are the procedural rules of parliament - in order to let another motion be moved.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion relating to the conduct of the business of this Senate, namely a motion relating to the consideration of government bills.

Votes Passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
