Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - to let another motion be put. This motion was put by Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie (Jacqui Lambie Network).
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 a conference with the House of Representatives to be moved and determined immediately.
