Title
Bills — Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Amendment Bill 2017; Third Reading- Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Amendment Bill 2017 - Third Reading - Put the question
Description
<p class="speaker">Christopher Pyne</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That this bill be now read a third time.</p>- This is a motion to 'put the question'. Members of Parliament (MPs) who vote in favour of putting the question are really voting in favour of speeding things along. In other words, they want to stop talking about a question and just vote on it already.
- These types of motions are sometimes known as 'gag' motions, since they stop debate.
<p class="speaker">Brendan O'Connor</p><p>This bill is going to create uncertainty and chaos in the building industry. In December last year, the Prime Minister made a deal with the crossbench senators, and he is reneging on that deal today.</p> <p class="speaker">Christopher Pyne</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That the question be now put.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question is that the question be now put.</p>
