Official title
Motions - Deputy Prime Minister - Let a vote happen

Ayes in the majority

This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.

Aye
35
No

Not recorded voting

“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

The majority voted in favour of a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing order - to let another vote take place. It was introduced by Victorian Senator Richard Di Natale (Greens).

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the breaching of the standards required of ministers by the Deputy Prime Minister.
