Title
Personal Explanations — Member for Bowman- Personal Explanations - Member for Bowman - Don't let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question is that the motion moved by the honourable member for Kingston be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-06-22.110.2) introduced by Kingston MP [Amanda Rishworth](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/kingston/amanda_rishworth) (Labor), 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 take place.
- ### Motion text
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Kingston from moving the following motion immediately:*
- >
- > *That the House:*
- >
- > *(1) notes:*
- >
- >> *(a) by keeping the Member for Bowman as chair of the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training, the Prime Minister is showing how little value he places on committee work;*
- >>
- >> *(b) his failure to respond to a letter written by female Opposition members of the committee urging him to act also shows how little value he places on the views of women;*
- >>
- >> *(c) Government members need to stop the protection racket for the Member for Bowman; and*
- >>
- >> *(d) the Prime Minister's failure to act is a demonstration of weakness, rather than leadership; and*
- >
- > *(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to discharge the Member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training immediately.*
