Chapter 8 - Conduct
of proceedings
Items
of business taken together
By special order of
the Senate items of business may be taken together. Usually such an order
provides for the items to be considered together but for the questions in
relation to them to be put separately. (For examples see 14/4/1988, J.628;
19/10/1988, J.1031; 23/11/1988, J.1143, 1144; 13/6/1989, J.1862; 29/8/2000,
J.3139-40; 27/11/2000; J.3573.) This procedure of ordering items to be taken
together is to be distinguished from the procedure known as a cognate debate,
whereby separate items of business remain as separate items but by leave are
debated together when one of them is before the Senate (19/5/1988, J.727;
26/5/1988, J.765; 23/11/1988, J.1146). (For the procedures for taking bills
together, see Chapter 12, Legislation, under Initiation.)
