Title
Description
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2016-03-02.11.2) introduced by the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Liberal Senator [George Brandis](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/george_brandis):
- > *The question is that the question be now put.*
- This is a '[closure of debate](http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/aso/so199)' motion, which means it ends debate on a particular question so that the Senate can vote immediately on it. Basically, this motion is to speed things along.
- ### What was the question?
- > *That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of [standing order 111](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Chamber_documents/Senate_chamber_documents/standingorders/b00/b20) not apply to this bill, allowing it to be considered during this period of sittings.*
