Title

  • Motions Morrison Government
  • Motions - Morrison Government - Stop MP Albanese from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Anthony Albanese</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move the following motion:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the House notes:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(1) despite announcing Australia would be at the front of the queue on COVID vaccines, the Morrison Government has taken too long to secure the vaccines Australians always needed;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) despite announcing Australia was not putting all its eggs in one basket on COVID vaccines, the Morrison Government failed to secure early access to five or six vaccines;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(3) fewer than three per cent of Australians have been fully vaccinated;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(4) despite announcing last August it was looking to establish mRNA manufacturing in Australia, the Morrison Government has failed to establish mRNA vaccine manufacturing in Australia; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(5) the Morrison Government has failed to run an effective public information campaign on vaccines in the face of constantly changing health advice and increased vaccine hesitancy.</p>
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition from moving the following motion immediately&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the House notes:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(1) despite announcing Australia would be at the front of the queue on COVID vaccines, the Morrison Government has taken too long to secure the vaccines Australians always needed;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) despite announcing Australia was not putting all its eggs in one basket on COVID vaccines, the Morrison Government failed to secure early access to five or six vaccines;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(3) fewer than three per cent of Australians have been fully vaccinated;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(4) despite announcing last August it was looking to establish mRNA manufacturing in Australia, the Morrison Government has failed to establish mRNA vaccine manufacturing in Australia; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(5) the Morrison Government has failed to run an effective public information campaign on vaccines in the face of constantly changing health advice and increased vaccine hesitancy.</p>
  • <p>There were two jobs this government had to get right this year: the rollout of the vaccine&#8212;they can roll out the red carpet for the Prime Minister, but they haven't been able to roll out&#8212;</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 Leader of the Opposition be no further heard.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-17.84.1) "*That the Member be no longer heard.*" In other words, they voted in favour of stopping Leader of the Opposition and Grayndler MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese) (Labor) from speaking any more in this debate. These motions are known as *gagging motions*.
