Title

  • Business Consideration of Legislation
  • Business - Consideration of Legislation - Put the question

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Mathias Cormann</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move a motion relating to consideration of the bill.</p>
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>Pursuant to contingent notice standing in my name, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Cormann moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to provide that a motion relating to consideration of the bill may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • <p>And I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the question be now put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the question be now put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Penny Wong</p>
  • <p>Mr President, I seek leave to make a short statement.</p>
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>Opposition senators interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2018-12-03.14.2) "to put the question." This is a type of gagging order since it ends debate and means [the question](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/divisions/senate/2018-12-03/2) must be asked straight away.
