Title

  • Motions — Israel
  • Motions - Israel - Suspend the usual rules

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Penny Allman-Payne</p>
  • <p>The question now before the chair is that the substantive motion, as moved by Senator Shoebridge, be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2024-03-25.9.2) introduced by NSW Senator [David Shoebridge](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/david_shoebridge) (Greens), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another motion be introduced.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent [Senator Waters](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/larissa_waters) moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to military equipment trade with Israel.*
