Qld MPs reject voting change

Queensland MPs have voted against a motion that would allow the opposition to nullify embattled MP Billy Gordon's vote.

The Liberal National Party wanted crossbench MPs to vote first in parliament, so they could see whether the now-Independent was voting with them and then send one of their own members out of the chamber.

But Mr Gordon and the two Katter's Australian Party MPs voted against the motion to side with Labor, meaning it was defeated 46 votes to 42.
