House Proceedings - An Unusual Division In The Australian House of Representatives
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 2020-02-09

Divisions are nothing special in the House of Representatives. During the second reading debate for the Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Promoting Sustainable Welfare) Bill 2018, a division was called for when the question, that the bill be read a second time, was put by the Deputy Speaker, The Hon Kevin Andrews (Member for Menzies, Father of the House and member of the Speaker's Panel). 

However, since this was not a division requiring the attention of all Labor and Coalition MPs, Mr Andrews presided over the division!

This video was taken from a sitting of the House which occurred on 28 November 2018. The transcript of the sitting can be found here: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Hansard/Hansard_Display?bid=chamber/hansardr/1693529d-40ba-43e3-9ae0-8bed5691ff37/&sid=0000
