Committees — Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee; Reference- Committees - Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee - Reference
Description
<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>I remind senators that yesterday evening two matters relating to proposed references to committees were deferred. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate to hold those votes now. I'm going to deal with the first matter, and that is the motion moved by Senators Colbeck and Cadell.</p>-
- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-08-02.164.2) moved by Tasmanian Senator [Richard Colbeck](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/tasmania/richard_colbeck) (Liberal) and NSW Senator [Ross Cadell](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/ross_cadell) (Nationals), which means it failed.
