Title

  • Documents Aboriginal Deaths in Custody
  • Documents - Aboriginal Deaths in Custody - Let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Malcolm Roberts</p>
  • <p>I ask that general business notice of motion No. 669, relating to Indigenous deaths in custody, be taken as a formal motion.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • The majority voted against suspending the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - to let a vote happen.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
  • <p>There is an objection to the motion being taken as formal. That was discussed before, by leave. Formality has been denied, as foreshadowed in the earlier discussion.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Malcolm Roberts</p>
  • <p>Pursuant to the contingent notice standing in the name of Senator Hanson, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion to suspend standing orders be agreed to.</p>
