  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-08-10.6.2) introduced by Paterson MP [Meryl Swanson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/paterson/meryl_swanson) (Labor), which means the motion failed.
