Official title
Business - Consideration of Legislation - Let a vote happen

Noes in the majority

“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 against a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place. This means the other vote will not happen. This motion was introduced by NSW Senator Kristina Keneally (Labor).

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely, a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the consideration of the Australian Citizenship Amendment (Citizenship Cessation) Bill 2020.
