  • > *That the member [Leader of the Opposition and Grayndler MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese)] be no longer heard.*
  • This means that Mr Albanese can no longer contribute to this debate. These types of motions are known as *gagging orders*.
