Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion: "That the question be now put."

The purpose of these motions is to end discussion on a topic and instead vote on the matter straight away. In this case, the topic being discussed was a motion introduced by Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson (One Nation) on what she described as "Indigenous identity fraud".

Votes Passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
