Title

  • Motions — Member for Bowman
  • Motions - Member for Bowman - Stop Eden-Monaro MP from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Kristy McBain</p>
  • <p>I second the motion. This is indefensible and shameful. The Australian public deserve better.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The member for Eden-Monaro will resume her seat. The minister has the call.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Trevor Evans</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 member be no longer heard. Just while I await the tellers to complete the count, I remind all members, as I did last night, of my statement about the sitting arrangements&#8212;member for Hughes, this is directed at you. It is important that you sit in your own seat. In the case of the crossbench, there are specific seats allocated to you. Don't bother moving now. But I just want to be very clear: it's important people sit in their seat. It's not my decision; it's the health advice that we all need to follow.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-05-26.13.1):
  • > *That the member [Eden-Monaro MP [Kristy McBain](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/eden-monaro/kristy_mcbain) (Labor)] be no longer heard.*
  • This is known as a gagging motion and means that Ms McBain won't be able to contribute anymore to this debate.
