Motions — Covid-19: Vaccine- Motions - Covid-19: Vaccine - Don't let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by the member for McMahon be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2020-09-02.3.2) introduced by McMahon MP [Chris Bowen](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/mcmahon/chris_bowen) (Labor), which means the motion failed.

- >> *(b) when the Minister for Health quoted AstraZeneca in the House on 1 September 2020, he omitted the company’s clarification that it had only signed a "letter of intent", and that "there are still many details to be confirmed"; and*
- >>
- >> *(c) in contrast to Australia's one letter of intent, at least 17 countries have signed at least 49 supply agreements, covering at least six billion doses of potential COVID-19 vaccines; and*
- >
- > *(2) therefore, calls on the Minister for Health to lay on the table by no later than 9.30 am on Thursday, 3 September 2020, the so-called 'deal' with AstraZeneca referred to by the Minister for Health, and to explain to the House whether a single dose of any potential COVID-19 vaccine has been secured for Australia.*
