Title

  • Business Consideration of Legislation
  • Business - Consideration of Legislation - Remove time limitations

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question now is that the motion to suspend standing orders moved by Senator Birmingham be agreed to.</p>
  • <p></p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-11-17.171.2) introduced by South Australian Senator [Simon Birmingham](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/simon_birmingham) (Liberal). This means that the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - will remain in force (and so the time limitations will remain in place).
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of that standing orders be suspended as would prevent further consideration of the bill without limitation on time.*
