Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by South Australian Senator Penny Wong (Labor), which means it passed.
Motion text
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to allow a motion relating to the consideration of legislation be moved and determined immediately.
Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
No rebellion
Note, this division record is currently showing Victorian Senator David Van (Independent) as a rebel voter against the rest of the Liberal Party, which is an error. Senator Van left the Liberal Party in June 2023.
