Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The question now is that the motion moved by the Leader of the Opposition be disagreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-10-20.126.2) to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - in order to let a vote happen. This means the vote on a Commonwealth Integrity Commission will not take place.
