Title

  • Bills — Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures) Bill 2024; Reference to Committee
  • Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures) Bill 2024 - Reference to Committee - Let another motion be moved

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by Senator Birmingham to suspend standing orders be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2024-03-26.89.2) introduced by South Australian Senator [Simon Birmingham](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/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](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2024-03-26.94.1) to give precedence to a motion relating to a direction to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee.*
