  • Motions - Prime Minister - Stop Hindmarsh MP from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Is the motion seconded?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Mark Butler</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a motion to stop the MP for Hindmarsh [Mark Butler](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/hindmarsh/mark_butler) (Labor) from speaking anymore in this debate. Motions like these are known as *gagging motions*.
  • <p>Seconded. They've finally drawn attention away from this minister, with the focus now on the Prime Minister.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The member for Hindmarsh will resume his seat. The Leader of the House?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Christian Porter</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 member for Hindmarsh be no further heard.</p>
