Title

  • Motions — Prime Minister
  • Motions - Prime Minister - Stop Mr Burke from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Is the motion seconded?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2020-02-06.105.4) to stop the Watson MP [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor) from speaking, which means it succeeded and Mr Burke won't be able to speak for the rest of the debate. Motion slike these are known as *gagging motions*.
  • <p>I second the motion. We saw the Prime Minister's character on full display: stubborn, all about marketing&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Christian Porter</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p>That the Member be no longer heard.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The Leader of the House has moved that the Manager of Opposition Business be no further heard.</p>
