- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-05-13.70.2):
- > *That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter—namely a motion to provide that a motion proposing to vary the order agreed to earlier today may be moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.*
- [Standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) are the usual procedural rules of parliament. Because this vote was successful, [another motion](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/divisions/senate/2021-05-13/14) could be introduced and voted on immediately.
