Part 2/4:
A vote was initiated to determine whether the business should proceed as a formal motion. The question was, "That business number five in the name of Senators Beette and Roberts be agreed to."
Members of the Senate expressed their opinions, with those supporting the motion indicating agreement ("I"), while opposition was signified by "against." A division was called to ensure a clear tally, requiring the bell to ring for one minute and the doors to be locked to prevent interference.
Division of Votes
The division proceedings saw votes cast with 27 Senators voting 'yes' (eyes) and 34 Senators voting 'no' (nos). This result indicates a majority against the motion being accepted as a formal business for the Senate.
