Title
Bills — Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016; First Reading- Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016 - First Reading - Suspend standing orders
Description
<p class="motion-notice motion-notice-notext">No motion text available</p>- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2016-03-02.11.2) introduced by Liberal Senator [George Brandis](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/george_brandis):
- > *The question now is that the suspension motion moved by Senator Brandis be agreed to.*
- The suspension motion referred to is:
- > *That so much of the [standing orders](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/standing-orders.html) be suspended as would prevent a minister moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion to exempt the bill from the bills cut-off order may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
- Basically, the majority are agreeing to speed things up.
