  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>

  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-02-24.92.4) "*That the Member be no longer heard.*" This means that the Member - in this case, Sydney MP [Tanya Plibersek](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/sydney/tanya_plibersek) (Labor) - will no longer be able to speak in this debate. These motions are known as *gagging orders.*
