17th Oct 2019, 3:20 PM – Representatives Motions - Economy - Let a vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion introduced by Grayndler MP Anthony Albanese, which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual parliamentary rules (known as standing orders) so that a vote could take place.
Motion text
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the House immediately debating the state of the Australian economy, with the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition speaking for a period of up to 10 minutes each and four other Members speaking for a period of up to 5 minutes each.
Votes Not passed by a small majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
