  • Motions Member for Bowman
  • Motions - Member for Bowman - 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 Dunkley be disagreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-05-26.9.2) to suspend the usual parliamentary procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - in order to let another vote take place. This means that subsequent vote will not take place.
  • ### Motion text

  • >
  • > *(1) notes:*
  • >
  • >> *(a) the Member for Bowman has reneged on his commitment to resign from all parliamentary positions, and the Prime Minister has failed to force him to do so; and*
  • >>
  • >> *(b) by refusing to act, the Prime Minister is tacitly endorsing the Member for Bowman's behaviour; and*
  • >
  • > *(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to explain to the House why he has not discharged the Member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training.*
