Title

  • Business Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders
  • Business - Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders - Stop Mr Burke from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2017-09-05.73.2):
  • > *That the Member [i.e., Watson MP [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor)] be no longer heard.*
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Watson from moving the following motion forthwith:</p>
  • <p class="italic">The House calls on the Deputy Prime Minister to stand aside from Cabinet immediately.</p>
  • <p>Immediately! Who would have thought that the High Court was just being given an opportunity&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The Leader of the House has the call.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Christopher Pyne</p>
  • <p>Mr Speaker, they've got to build some momentum before they do this suspension motion.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The Leader of the House will go to his point of order.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Christopher Pyne</p>
  • <p>They haven't got any momentum, so 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>
