Title

  • Motions - Aged Care
  • Motions - Aged Care - Don't let a vote happen

Description

  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2020-09-03.29.2) introduced by Franklin MP [Julie Collins](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/franklin/julie_collins) (Labor), which means it failed. The motion would have suspended the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - to allow another vote to take place.
  • ### Motion text

  • >>
  • >> *(c) it will have taken more than four years for the government to establish a Serious Incident Response Scheme, after it was recommended by the Australian Law Reform; and*
  • >>
  • >> *(d) aged care is clearly and unambiguously a Commonwealth responsibility, and the Prime Minister must take urgent action to fix this;*
  • >
  • > *(2) invites the Prime Minister to attend the chamber and make a statement on this matter.*
