Title

  • Motions Member for Bowman
  • Motions - Member for Bowman - Stop MP for Griffith from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Terri Butler</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to move the following motion:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Griffith from moving the following motion immediately:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the House:</p>
  • <p class="italic">notes that the member for Bowman is unfit to be a member of parliament and the government needs to act to show that it has listened to women; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">calls on the Prime Minister to discharge the member for Bowman from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training immediately.</p>
  • <p>Obviously, the member for Bowman needs to resign from the committee position that he holds. He should stop drawing the extra salary, and the government should take action&#8212;</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Alan Tudge</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 member for Griffith be no further heard.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-06-24.5.4):
  • > *That the Member be no longer heard.*
  • The Member in this case was Griffith MP [Terri Butler](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/griffith/terri_butler) (Labor). This means that she can no longer contribute to this debate.
  • These types of motions are known as *gagging orders*.
