Title

  • Motions Prime Minister
  • Motions - Prime Minister - Stop MP for Hindmarsh for speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Mark Butler</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move the following motion:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the House:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(1) notes:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) the Prime Minister had two jobs this year, to get the vaccine rollout right and to create a safe, national quarantine system, and the Victorian outbreak has shown he has failed at both;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(b) the Prime Minister announced these aged care residents and staff would be vaccinated by Easter but has failed to deliver, leaving them vulnerable;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(c) shockingly, when asked this morning, the Aged Care Minister could not even say how many aged care residents in Victoria had been fully vaccinated;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(d) in November last year, the Government ceased its efforts to prevent aged care workers working in multiple facilities in Australia; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(e) this Government has failed its basic duty to protect older and vulnerable Australians; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to attend the Chamber and make a statement of no more than 30 minutes in length accounting for these failures.</p>
  • <p class="italic">Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p>That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Hindmarsh from moving the following motion immediately:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the House:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(1) notes:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) the Prime Minister had two jobs this year, to get the vaccine rollout right and to create a safe, national quarantine system, and the Victorian outbreak has shown he has failed at both;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(b) the Prime Minister announced these aged care residents and staff would be vaccinated by Easter but has failed to deliver, leaving them vulnerable;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(c) shockingly, when asked this morning, the Aged Care Minister could not even say how many aged care residents in Victoria had been fully vaccinated;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(d) in November last year, the Government ceased its efforts to prevent aged care workers working in multiple facilities in Australia; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(e) this Government has failed its basic duty to protect older and vulnerable Australians; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to attend the Chamber and make a statement of no more than 30 minutes in length accounting for these failures.</p>
  • <p>The Prime Minister had two jobs this year, a speedy effective vaccine rollout and safe national quarantine facilities.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Darren Chester</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the Member be no longer heard.</p>
  • <p class="italic"> <i>A division having been called and the bells being rung&#8212;</i></p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Just for the information of the minister and the House, I appreciate that the motion is moving and that standing order, as I've said, is brutal, but I am allowing a sentence or two before I call him to the dispatch box because to move someone can be no further heard requires that they have at least been heard even for a few seconds.</p>
  • <p>The question is that the Deputy Manager of Opposition Business be no longer heard.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-01.4.5):
  • > *That the Member [Hindmarsh MP [Mark Butler](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/hindmarsh/mark_butler)] be no longer heard.*
  • This means that Mr Butler can no longer contribute to this debate. These motions are known as *gagging orders*.
