Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>We are now moving to suspend the standing orders. Senator Ruston, do you have a question?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anne Ruston</p>
  • <p>Is it possible to get a copy of the motion?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that the standing orders be suspended. There's been no debate so the bells will ring for one minute.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • <p></p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-08-10.56.3):
  • > *That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to the consideration of business of the Senate notice of motion No. 1 may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
  • Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament. Because this vote was successful, the [motion referred to](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-08-10.65.1) can be introduced.
