Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of disagreeing with a motion introduced by Leader of the Opposition and Grayndler MP Anthony Albanese (Labor), which means it failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place.

Motion text

I move that so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition moving the following motion immediately:

That the House:

(1) notes the:

(a) Abbott-Truss-Turnbull-Truss-Turnbull-Joyce-Turnbull-McCormack-Morrison-McCormack and now Morrison-Joyce Government promised stable government;

(b) incoming Deputy Prime Minister has said investing in renewables is "insane" and "lemming-like";

(c) incoming Deputy Prime Minister backs nuclear power plants in the middle of towns;

(d) Government has had no fewer than 22 energy policies in eight years; and

(e) Government is more divided than ever on achieving net zero by 2050; and

(2) therefore, condemns the Morrison-Joyce Government for fighting itself instead of fighting for the jobs of the future, a sustainable climate and a strong economy for all Australians.

Votes Passed by a small majority
