Title
Bills — Minerals Resource Rent Tax Repeal and Other Measures Bill 2014; Consideration in Detail- Minerals Resource Rent Tax Repeal and Other Measures Bill 2014 - Consideration in Detail - Put the question
Description
<p class="speaker">Chris Bowen</p><p>What a farce we have seen today in relation to this legislation. We had the parliamentary secretary move a second reading and forget to, or perhaps on instruction from the Leader of the House, read the second reading speech—which, as we have traversed, has some force of law; and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance read out the second reading speech without the force of law, trying to clean up the mess. These calamity kids over there—we see we have the adults in charge—now say, 'We know what's in this bill.' Some on that side of the House might know what is in the bill; the vast majority of the people who just spoke and who just voted do not know what is in the bill. Certainly, on this side of the House, we have had the opportunity for a very brief look at the bill and it is confirmed that the government is proceeding with abolishing the schoolkids bonus. It is confirmed that the government is proceeding with winding back the instant asset write-off and the loss carryback. It is confirmed that the superannuation guarantee is deferred. And it is confirmed that the low-income superannuation contribution is delayed. But there are changes.</p><p>The Treasurer is seeking the right by legislative fiat to change the superannuation guarantee without reference to the parliament. If you think we are going to cop that, you have got another thing coming. This government, who does not believe in superannuation, with a Prime Minister who calls compulsory superannuation a 'con job', now wants to remove the ability of the parliament to vote on legislation relating to the superannuation guarantee. This has been an appalling process and the House should not be treated with such contempt. Accordingly, I move:</p>- The majority voted in favour of a [http://www.openaustralia.org/debate/?id=2014-09-01.55.12 motion] that the question be put, which was put by Liberal MP [http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?house=representatives&mpc=Moncrieff&mpn=Steven_Ciobo Steven Ciobo]. The question referred to was a [http://www.openaustralia.org/debate/?id=2014-09-01.54.2 motion] put by Labor MP [http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?house=representatives&mpc=McMahon&mpn=Chris_Bowen Chris Bowen] and was subsequently put.[1]
- Mr Ciobo's motion has the effect of ending debate on Mr Bowen's motion by immediately putting it.
