Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion introduced by Labor MP Anthony Albanese. The motion was: "That the member be no longer heard" and referred to Liberal MP Michael Keenan.

This sort of motion cuts debate short and is known as a ‘closure of Member’.(See this infosheet for more information on these types of motions. )

Background to the motion

Mr Albanese introduced this 'closure of Member' motion after Mr Keenan moved a motion in respect to "the placing of a convicted Egyptian jihadist terrorist in a low security family detention facility in the Adelaide Hills".(Read more about this incident on ABC News here.)
