Description

  • <p class="speaker">Penny Wong</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move a motion relating to the variation of business.</p>
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion concerning the routine of business today, to be moved immediately and determined without debate.</p>
  • <p>And I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the question be now put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that the question be now put on the motion to suspend standing orders.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • <p></p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-11-10.151.2):
  • > *That the question be now put.*
  • In other words, they voted to end debate and instead vote on the matter under discussion immediately.
