Description

  • <p class="speaker">Cory Bernardi</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to amend the motion by deleting the words 'also growing' in the terms circulated in the chamber.</p>
  • <p>Leave granted.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2017-10-18.327.1) in support of Mr [Sebastian Kurz's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Kurz) election results in Austria. This means the motion failed.
