13th Aug 2024, 12:22 PM – Senate Motions - Middle East - Let a vote on Palestine take place
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion introduced by West Australian Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens), which would have suspended the usual procedural rules (known as standing orders) to allow him to introduce another motion on the subject of Palestine.
Motion text
That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion in relation to Palestine, and give precedence to the motion in relation to that subject.
Error in this record (as of 17/08/2024)
