18th Mar 2024, 10:42 AM – Senate Motions - Middle East - Let another vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place. This means that other vote won't occur.
Motion text
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion related to the conduct of business of the Senate—namely, a notice of motion to give precedence to general business notice of motion No. 451 relating to Gaza.
Votes Not passed by a modest majority
