Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders

Tuesday, 4 February 2025 House of Representatives

Anne Aly Cowan, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Early Childhood Education

5:42 pm

I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent standing order 133 from recommencing in operation.

Earlier this day, the Leader of the House suspended the standing order relating to deferred divisions to allow us to consider the member for Wentworth's motion about antisemitism. This motion I am now moving will reinstate that standing order so that the usual rule of having no divisions after 6.30 pm will apply this evening.

Question agreed to, with an absolute majority.
