7th Dec 2023, 9:17 AM – Senate Business - Consideration of Legislation - Suspend the usual procedural rules
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion:
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 Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Bill 2023 to be moved and determined immediately.
Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
