Title
Motions — Climate Change- Motions - Climate Change - Let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Janet Rice</p><p>I ask that general business notice of motion No. 1417 standing in my name for today, relating to climate change and support for a green new deal, be taken as a formal motion.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2019-04-02.174.1) introduced by Victorian Senator [Janet Rice](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/janet_rice) (Greens) to suspend the usual procedural rules to let a vote happen. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against suspending [standing orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html).
- ### Motion text
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Rice from moving a motion to provide for consideration of that motion.*
<p>Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? There is. Formality has been denied.</p> <p class="speaker">Janet Rice</p><p>Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:</p><p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Rice from moving a motion to provide for consideration of that motion.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>Under the order adopted by the Senate, I now immediately put that motion to suspend standing orders without debate. The question is that standing orders be suspended to allow Senator Rice to have that motion dealt with in formal business.</p>
