MOTIONS › Ministerial Suitability Commission of Inquiry Bill 2021
Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Industry Development) (12:14): Mr President, I am seeking some clarification. I presume it is a contingent notice that Senator Waters is relying upon to do what she intends to do now. Is that right? The PRESIDENT: I think Senator Waters did say 'contingent notice'. Was it in your name, Senator Waters? Senator Waters interjecting— The PRESIDENT: It is a contingent notice, which means it requires a majority of the Senate, not an absolute majority of the Senate. The question is that the motion moved by Senator Waters to suspend standing orders be agreed to.
