An objection was raised and leave was not granted. Proposed suspension of standing orders: Senator Abetz, pursuant to contingent notice, moved—That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent him moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion condemning the Australian Greens and their Leader for failing to condemn the vile Global Boycott Divestments and Sanctions campaign against Israel. Debate ensued. Question put. The Senate divided— AYES,29
