Summation: Cllr Nick da Costa (Chair, FCC).
Conference notes that:
Conference believes that while it is essential that party members are always able to propose amendments to the constitution or standing orders, it would be desirable to limit the amount of time that can be spent on them in any one conference.
Conference therefore agrees to the following amendments to standing order 4.3 (Motions for the amendment of the constitution or standing orders):
The existing text of Conference standing orders is printed in this Agenda at pages 116-127.
Applicability: Federal.
Mover: 5 minutes; all other speakers: 3 minutes. For eligibility and procedure for speaking in this debate, see pages 110-111 of the agenda.
The deadline for amendments to this motion and for seperate votes is 13.00 Monday 11 September. Those selected for debate will be printed in Conference Extra and Sunday’s Conference Daily.
Standing order amendments require a two-thirds majority to pass.
