Title

  • Motions — Member for Bowman
  • Motions - Member for Bowman - Stop MP for Sydney from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tanya Plibersek</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Sydney from moving the following motion immediately&#8212;That the House:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(1) notes:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) the Member for Bowman has failed to stand down as Chair of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training, despite pledging he would;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(b) for more than two months the Prime Minister has failed to do anything about that;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(c) the Prime Minister's failure to act on this matter tells you everything about how much this Prime Minister really listens to women; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(d) the Member for Bowman's continued presence in this chamber and as Chair of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training is a blight on the Prime Minister's record; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to discharge the Member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training immediately.</p>
  • <p>This Prime Minister is running a perv protection racket. What does it take to get the sack in this guy's government?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Mark Coulton</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 for Sydney be no further heard.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-03.4.4):
  • > *That the Member [Sydney MP [Tanya Plibersek](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/sydney/tanya_plibersek)] be no longer heard.*
  • This means that Ms Plibersek can no longer contribute to this debate. These motions are known as *gagging orders*.
