I ask that general business notice of motion No. 1147 be taken as formal.

Sue Lines

Sue Lines Deputy-President

Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal?

An honourable senator: Yes.

There is an objection.

I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion being moved immediately and determined without amendment or debate.

Sue Lines

Sue Lines Deputy-President

The question is the motion to suspend standing orders moved by Senator Waters be agreed to.
