Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (16:46): I ask that general business notice of motion No. 1143, about the hemp industry, be taken as formal. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Is there any objection to this motion being taken as formal? There is an objection. Senator WHISH-WILSON: I seek leave to make a very short statement, of just 30 seconds. Leave not granted. Senator WHISH-WILSON: Pursuant to contingent notice, I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Whish-Wilson moving the motion immediately and the motion being determined without amendment or debate. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, are you seeking to suspend to make a statement or to put the motion? Senator WHISH-WILSON: I might suspend to make a statement if that gives me five minutes to make a statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: It's your call to make, not mine to advise. Senator WHISH-WILSON: I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Senator Whish-Wilson making a statement about notice of motion No. 1143. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I remind senators that we are voting to suspend standing orders to allow Senator Whish-Wilson to make a short statement. The question is that the motion as moved by Senator Whish-Wilson to suspend be agreed to.
