Rearrangement

Allow Senator Cash to make a statementProcedural motion

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

Official title
Business - Rearrangement - Allow Senator Cash to make a statement

Noes 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.

“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 allow West Australian Senator Michaelia Cash (Liberal), which means it failed.

Motion text

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent me from making a statement of no more than five minutes.
