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 now is that the motion moved by the member for Newcastle for the suspension of standing orders be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-06-17.18.2), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual 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 happen.
- ### Motion text
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Newcastle from moving the following motion immediately—That the House:*
- >
- > *(1) notes:*
- >
- >> *(a) Government members have voted repeatedly to endorse the Member for Bowman's chairmanship of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training;*
- >>
- >> *(b) doing so is a tacit approval of the Member for Bowman's behaviour and his attitude toward women;*
- >>
- >> *(c) the Prime Minister has failed to act, and the Acting Prime Minister is failing to act in his absence;*
- >>
- >> *(d) it is time for Government members to do the right thing and do something about the Member for Bowman's behaviour; and*
- >
- > *(2) therefore, calls on the Acting Prime Minister to discharge the Member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training immediately.*
