Title

  • Motions — Workplace Relations
  • Motions - Workplace Relations - Stop MP from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Is the motion seconded?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2017-06-21.8.1) to stop Labor MP for Watson [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) from speaking. In parliamentary jargon, they voted in favour a motion "that the member be no longer heard."
  • Since this motion was successful, Mr Burke could no longer contribute to this particular debate.
  • <p>I second the motion. Workers are being ripped off and the government is complicit&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Christopher Pyne</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the member be no longer heard.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The question is that the Manager of Opposition Business be no longer heard.</p>
