Not passed by a modest majority
No rebellions 34% attendance
26th Mar 2024, 3:15 PM – Senate Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures) Bill 2024 - Reference to Committee - Let another motion be moved
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by South Australian Senator Simon Birmingham (Liberal) to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament (known as standing orders), which means it succeeded.
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 give precedence to a motion relating to a direction to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee.
Votes Passed by a modest majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
