Title
Motions — Member for Bowman- Motions - Member for Bowman - Don't let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question is that the motion moved by the member for Franklin be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-05-27.3.2) 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
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Franklin from moving the following motion immediately—That this House:*
- >
- > *(1) notes:*
- >
- >> *(a) the Member for Bowman has reneged on his commitment to resign from all parliamentary positions, remains as Chair of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training, and the Prime Minister is happy to keep him there;*
- >>
- >> *(b) Government MPs including the Prime Minister and Government members of that very committee have now voted fifteen times to keep the Member for Bowman in his position, which gives him extra salary; and*
- >>
- >> *(c) the Prime Minister's failure to remove the Member for Bowman is unconscionable; and*
- >
- > *(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister and every Member of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training to attend the Chamber and be given five minutes each to make a statement as to whether the Member for Bowman is a fit and proper person to keep his job.*
