Motions: Taxation
Voting yes supported suspending the Senate's standing orders as moved by Senator Cash, so the Senate could consider a taxation motion out of its usual order. This is a procedural step rather than a vote on tax policy itself.
The question put
That the suspension motion as moved by Senator Cash be agreed to.
