Title

  • Business Consideration of Legislation
  • Business - Consideration of Legislation - Suspend the usual procedural rules

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that the suspension of standing orders as moved by Senator Wong be agreed to.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2023-11-17.88.3) introduced by South Australian Senator [Penny Wong](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/penny_wong) (Labor), which means it passed.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *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 relating to the consideration of legislation be moved and determined immediately.*
  • Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
  • #### No rebellion
  • Note, this division record is currently showing Victorian Senator [David Van](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/david_van) (Independent) as a rebel voter against the rest of the Liberal Party, which is an error. Senator Van left the Liberal Party in June 2023.
