Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Is the motion seconded? The member for Paterson.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Meryl Swanson</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-16.14.1) to stop Paterson MP [Meryl Swanson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/paterson/meryl_swanson) (Labor) from speaking any more in this debate. Motions like these are known as *gagging motions*.
  • <p>I second this motion. At best, this government protects pests. At worst, it does nothing to eradicate them.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The member for Paterson will resume her seat. The Leader of the House.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Peter Dutton</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 be no longer heard.</p>
