Description

  • <p class="speaker">Katy Gallagher</p>
  • <p>I ask that government business notice of motion No. 1, relating to the reference of time-critical bills to legislation committees, be taken as formal.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Pauline Hanson</p>
  • <p>Yes.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>There is an objection.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Katy Gallagher</p>
  • <p>Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Gallagher to suspend standing orders be agreed to.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • <p></p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-05-11.48.8):
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
  • It was moved by ACT Senator [Katy Gallagher](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/act/katy_gallagher) (Labor), which means it passed. Standing orders are the procedural rules of parliament. Suspending them means another motion can be considered.
