18th Oct 2023, 11:00 AM – Senate Business - Rearrangement - Let another motion be moved
Summary
EditThe same number of senators voted for and against the motion introduced by WA Senator Michaelia Cash (Liberal) to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.
Motion text
That so much of standing orders be suspended as to prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the consideration of government business.
Votes Not passed
Nobody rebelled against their party.
