Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion that Labor MP Mark Dreyfus stop speaking. In parliamentary language, they voted "That the member be no longer heard", which is known as a "closure of Member" motion and stops the Member of Parliament (MP) from finishing their speech.

The motion was introduced by Liberal MP Christopher Pyne.

What's all this about?

Mr Dreyfus had been introducing a motion about the Special Minister of State Mal Brough's comments during Question Time yesterday which Mr Dreyfus believes "clearly misled" the Parliament (see the transcript of those proceedings on OpenAustralia). Learn more about these events on the Guardian.

Votes Passed by a small majority
