Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Morrison</p>

  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>I am loath to put the member for Lyne in this situation. If you want the honest truth, and I understand the intention of the member for Cook, I am loath to use a member's valedictory in this way. But you have put the motion.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anthony Albanese</p>
  • <p>I move the original question. I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the question be put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>I had understood that the member for Cook might have been seeking another option and that is why I gave him the call. I had thought he had intended to move quickly to the member for Lyne, but I have misread that. The member for Cook has the call.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Morrison</p>
  • <p>This motion is put forward reluctantly because, as the Prime Minister said&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anthony Albanese</p>
  • <p>Speaker&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="italic">Mr Dutton interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>The member for Dickson will not continue with that line. The Deputy Prime Minister has the call.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anthony Albanese</p>
  • <p>My point of order is this, Speaker: the next business had been called on by you. There was an item already before the chair, and I moved that that question be put.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>The clerk had called on the item of business. I had given the member for Cook the call as I thought he was going to propose something else. I did not think he would then eat into 10 minutes time. I am going to put the question. The question is that the question be put.</p>
  • <p>Honourable members interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • <p>The suspension motion should relate to the motion before the chair. It does not. The member for Menzies on a point of order.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Kevin Andrews</p>
  • <p>Speaker, you have accepted a motion from the member for Cook.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>I have not!</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Kevin Andrews</p>
  • <p>You have accepted that motion; he started to speak to it. Everybody in this place knows he has started to speak to it, Speaker.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>The member for Menzies will resume his seat. I gave the member for Cook the call as I thought he would be doing another&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Bronwyn Bishop</p>
  • <p>Does it matter?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anna Burke</p>
  • <p>Yes, it does actually, member for Mackellar. The suspension must relate to the matter before the chair. As it does not, I am calling on the business of the day. The question is that the question be put.</p>
  • <p>The question now is that this bill, as amended, be agreed to.</p>
