Title
Motions — Member for Pearce- Motions - Member for Pearce - Don't let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question now is that the motion moved by the Manager of Opposition Business be disagreed to.</p><p></p><p></p> -
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2021-10-25.28.2) introduced by Watson MP [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor), which means the motion failed. The motion was to suspend the usual procedural rules of parliament - 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 happen.
- ### Motion text
- > *That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Manager of Opposition Business from moving the following motion immediately:*
- >
- > *(1) notes:*
- >
- >> *(a) last week, the Morrison-Joyce government voted down a privileges motion given precedence by the Speaker for the first time since Federation;*
- >>
- >> *(b) media reports that "Liberal backbenchers were completely horrified" by that vote, which protected the Member for Pearce from having to disclose the sources of donations;*
- >>
- >> *(c) this renders the Register of Members' Interests completely meaningless; and*
- >>
- >> *(d) those same backbenchers now have the chance to put things right and restore basic standards of transparency and integrity to this Parliament;*
- >
- > *(2) provides leave for the Manager of Opposition Business to once again move a motion to refer the Member for Pearce to the Committee of Privileges and Members' Interests.*
