Summary

Edit

The same number of senators voted for and against a motion:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me amending the motion.

This means the motion failed.

This was a vote on whether to suspend the usual procedural rules - which are known as standing orders - in order to let South Australian Senator Don Farrell (Labor) amend another motion.

Votes Not passed

Nobody rebelled against their party.
