Rex Patrick

Rex Patrick SA, Independent

11:47 am

I ask that business of the Senate notice of motion No. 4 be taken as a formal motion.

Slade Brockman

Slade Brockman President

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

An honourable senator: Yes.

I'm sorry; formality has been denied, Senator Patrick.

Rex Patrick

Rex Patrick SA, Independent

Pursuant to contingent notice of motion, 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.

Slade Brockman

Slade Brockman President

The question is that the suspension of standing orders be agreed to.

That the Treasury Laws Amendment (Greater Transparency of Proxy Advice) Regulations 2021, made under the Corporations Act 2001 and the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993, be disallowed [F2021L01801].
