Title

  • Motions — Economy
  • Motions - Economy - Let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The question is the motion moved by the Leader of the Opposition be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a motion introduced by Grayndler MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual parliamentary rules (known as [standing orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/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.*
