Consideration of Legislation

Let a vote happenProcedural motion

A vote on how Parliament conducts its business, not on a law itself.

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 introduced by South Australian Senator Simon Birmingham (Liberal), which means it failed. Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would allow me to move a motion related to the routine of business for today.
