Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders

Tuesday, 8 October 2024 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House

12:01 pm

I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent:

(1) the Prime Minister immediately moving a motion without notice regarding Hamas attacks on Israel and ongoing conflicts;

(2) debate on the motion ensuing without interruption, with the question on the motion being put at no later than 1.20 pm;

(3) no amendments to the motion being permitted;

(4) standing order 133(b) not applying to the Minister's motion; and

(5) any variation to this arrangement being made only on a motion moved by a Minister.

Question agreed to.
