Title

  • Business Rearrangement
  • Business - Rearrangement - Let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Andrew McLachlan</p>
  • <p>I now intend to put the substantive question before the Senate, which will involve the suspension of standing orders. The question before the Senate is that the motion moved by Senator Steele-John be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-11-09.145.2) introduced by West Australian Senator [Jordon Steele-John](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/jordon_steele-john) (Greens), which means it failed.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter—namely, a motion relating to a call for a ceasefire in Gaza to be moved immediately.*
