Title

  • Motions — Middle East
  • Motions - Middle East - Let another vote take place

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Andrew McLachlan</p>
  • <p>The question before the Senate is that standing orders be suspended.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2024-02-27.4.2) introduced by NSW Senator [Mehreen Faruqi](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/mehreen_faruqi) (Greens), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.
  • ### 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 funding for UNRWA to be moved immediately.*
