Title
Bills — Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017; Third Reading- Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Requirements for Australian Citizenship and Other Measures) Bill 2017 - Third Reading - Suspend standing orders
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>Is leave granted for the third reading to be moved immediately? Leave is not granted.</p> <p class="speaker">Peter Dutton</p>- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2017-08-14.101.1) to suspend the usual parliamentary rules (known as [standing orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/standing-orders.html)) to allow a vote to happen. In parliamentary jargon, they voted:
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.*
- This means that they can now vote on whether they want to pass the bill.
<p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question is that the motion moved by the minister be agreed to.</p>
