  • Motions - Prime Minister - Don't let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">David Gillespie</p>
  • <p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier today by the honourable member for Hindmarsh on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with standing orders. No further debate is allowed.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-01.3.3) 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 Hindmarsh from moving the following motion immediately:*
  • >
  • > *That the House:*
  • >
  • > *(1) notes:*
  • >
  • >> *(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;*
  • >>
  • >> *(b) the Prime Minister announced these aged care residents and staff would be vaccinated by Easter but has failed to deliver, leaving them vulnerable;*
  • >>
  • >> *(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;*
  • >>
  • >> *(d) in November last year, the Government ceased its efforts to prevent aged care workers working in multiple facilities in Australia; and*
  • >>
  • >> *(e) this Government has failed its basic duty to protect older and vulnerable Australians; and*
  • >
  • > *(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.*
