  • Motions - Climate Change - Don't let a vote happen

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sharon Claydon</p>
  • <p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier today by the honourable member for Melbourne on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed. The bells shall now ring.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2023-03-21.3.2) 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/) - to let another motion take place, which means it won't happen.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Melbourne from moving the following motion immediately—That the House:*
  • >
  • > *(1) notes the release of the sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change synthesis report on the escalating climate emergency;*
  • >
  • > *(2) notes the statement by the UN Secretary-General that there can be no new coal, oil and gas projects and Australia and other developed countries must phase out coal by 2030; and*
  • >
  • > *(3) calls on the Government to heed the call of the IPCC and the UN Secretary-General and stop approving new coal and gas projects.*
  • <p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p>
  • <p>The question is that the motion moved by the member for Melbourne to suspend standing orders be disagreed to.</p>
