Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>I remind senators that yesterday a division was deferred relating to a closure motion moved by Senator Watt, concerning a proposed reference to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold that division now.</p>
  • <p>The question is that the closure motion as moved by Senator Watt be agreed to.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-10-17.219.2):
  • > *That the question be put.*
  • These are known as *closure motions* and mean that [the question](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/divisions/senate/2023-10-17/3) will now be voted on immediately.
