  • <p class="speaker">Jordon Steele-John</p>
  • <p>I ask that general business notice of motion No. 229 be taken as a formal motion.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Malcolm Roberts</p>
  • <p>Yes.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>There is an objection.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Jordon Steele-John</p>
  • <p>Pursuant to contingent notice of motion standing in the name of Senator Waters, 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 to suspend standing orders as moved by Senator Steele-John be agreed to.</p>
  • <p></p>

  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-05-11.53.8) introduced by West Australian Senator [Jordon Steele-John](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/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.
