11th May 2023, 12:07 PM – Senate Documents - National Disability Insurance Scheme; Order for the Production of Documents - Suspend the usual rules
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by West Australian Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens):
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.
Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament and suspending them means another motion can be considered.
Votes Passed by a large majority
