Senators, on the last sitting day I mentioned a precedent for a senator moving a motion with the intention of voting against it. The Clerk recalled the precedent as being from 1991; in fact, the precedent is from 21 October 1993. You can find more information in Procedural information bulletin No. 373, from August 2023, and Procedural information bulletin No. 79, from October 1993.
