18th Mar 2024, 12:36 PM – Representatives Motions - Middle East - Let another vote take place
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place. This means that other vote 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 that since the House resolution of 16 October 2023 concerning Israel and Gaza, which supported the State of Israel's looming invasion of Gaza by stating that the House 'stands with Israel', the following have occurred:
(a) an appalling and increasing toll of deaths and injuries caused by the State of Israel's bombing and invasion of Gaza;
(b) a growing humanitarian catastrophe caused by the State of Israel's blockade, bombing and invasion of Gaza; and
(c) the State of Israel is the subject of recent International Court of Justice orders in South Africa's case regarding the prevention of genocide;
(2) therefore does not support the State of Israel's continued invasion of Gaza and calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire; and
(3) calls on the Australian Government to end its support for the State of Israel's invasion of Gaza.
