Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Queensland Senator Anthony Chisholm (Labor):

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving an amendment to the motion.

Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.

Votes Passed by a modest majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
