Text recorded with this division

Penny Wong

President, I seek leave to move a motion concerning a variation to the routine of business.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:

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 to allow a motion concerning the routine of business to be moved and determined immediately.

And I move:

That the question be now put.

Honourable senators interjecting—

Sue Lines

Order! The question is that the question be now put on the motion to suspend standing orders.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
