I, and also on behalf of Senator Patrick, ask that general business notice of motion No. 828 be taken as a formal motion.

Sue Lines

Sue Lines Deputy-President

Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? Yes. Formality has been denied.

Pursuant to contingent notice, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Lambie moving a motion relating to the conduct of the business of this Senate, namely a motion to give precedence to general business notice of motion No. 828.

Sue Lines

Sue Lines Deputy-President

The question is that the standing orders be suspended, as moved by Senator Lambie, to enable debate of general business notice of motion No. 828.
