Title
Business — Rearrangement- Business - Rearrangement - Stop Watson MP 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=2020-06-17.16.1) to stop Watson MP [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor) from speaking anymore in this debate. Motions like these are known as *gagging motions*.
<p>I second the motion. There's never been a Prime Minister so scared of debate. There's never been a character that was so brittle but with such an ego—somebody who cannot tolerate an opposing view being held.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The Minister for Education?</p> <p class="speaker">Dan Tehan</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That the member no longer be heard.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question is that the Manager of Opposition Business be no further heard.</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by the Leader of the Opposition be agreed to. I call the member for Chifley.</p>
