  • Motions — Member for Bowman
  • Motions - Member for Bowman - Don't let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Llew O&#39;Brien</p>
  • <p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion to suspend standing orders moved earlier today by the honourable member for Macquarie on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-05-25.3.2) moved by Macquarie MP [Susan Templeman](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/macquarie/susan_templeman) (Labor), which means the motion failed.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) be suspended as would prevent the Member for Macquarie from moving the following motion immediately—*
  • >
  • > *That this House:*

  • >>
  • >> *(c) coalition members have now voted nine times to keep the Member for Bowman as Chair of the committee, including the coalition members of that committee, the Members for;*

  • >>> *(ii) Groom*
  • >>>
  • >>> *(iii) Curtin*
  • >>>
  • >>> *(iv) New England; and*
  • >>>
  • >>> *(v) Longman; and*
  • >>
  • >> *(d) by voting to keep the Member for Bowman as Chair of the committee, the Prime Minister and everyone who sits behind him in this House is endorsing the Member for Bowman's behaviour; and*
  • >
  • > *(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to discharge the Member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training immediately.*
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
