  • <p class="speaker">Kevin Hogan</p>
  • <p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier today by the honourable member for Watson on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed.</p>

  • <p><i>(In division) </i>Mr Speaker, under standing order 67 and given the nature of how this issue has been dealt with in each house, I ask that you read the question that is before the House so that all members know exactly what we're voting on.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Government Members</p>
  • <p>Government members interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Members on my right aren't assisting. Whilst this is not normally done, given it's already in the <i>Hansard</i> and stated this morning and time has elapsed with the deferred division, I will. I would have presumed most members want to be able to vote in the division; even though the doors are locked, you can be excluded from voting. The question before the House is the motion moved by the member for Watson, which was:</p>
  • <p>That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Watson from moving the following motion immediately:</p>
  • <p>That the House rejects the resolution put to the Senate yesterday which included a white supremacist slogan that is also used by hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan.</p>
