Title

  • Business Rearrangement
  • Business - Rearrangement - Stop MP Albanese from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Anthony Albanese</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Member for Grayndler moving the disallowance motion on Australia Post which appears on the Notice Paper as private Members' business notice No. 40, and for the matter to be determined by the House.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2020-06-18.32.1) to stop Grayndler MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese) (Labor) from speaking any further in this debate. These motions are known as *gagging motions*.
  • <p>We have attempted to move this disallowance each day, because it needs to be dealt with&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>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 Leader of the Opposition be no further heard.</p>
  • <p class="italic">Mr Bandt interjecting&#8212;</p>
  • <p>I would just point out to the Leader of the Greens the specific words in <i>Practice, </i>which will help:</p>
  • <p class="italic">If the closure is moved and agreed to while a Member is moving or seconding (where necessary) an amendment&#8212;that is, before the question on the amendment is proposed from the Chair&#8212;the amendment is superseded, and the question on the original question is put immediately.</p>
