  • Motions Climate Change
  • Motions - Climate Change - Suspend the rules to let another motion be moved

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Lisa Chesters</p>
  • <p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier today for the suspension of standing and sessional orders 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.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2024-05-14.7.2) introduced by Melbourne MP [Adam Bandt](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/melbourne/adam_bandt) (Greens), which means it failed. Standing orders are the usual procedural rules of parliament.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Melbourne moving the following motion:*
  • >
  • > *That the House:*
  • >
  • > *(1) notes the world is on track for a catastrophic 2.5 to 3 degree warming of the planet based on current policies;*
  • >
  • > *(2) acknowledges that coal and gas are fueling the climate crisis;*
  • >
  • > *(3) condemns the Future Gas Strategy which intends to expand gas production to 2050 and beyond; and*
  • >
  • > *(4) calls on the Environment Minister and Resources Minister to stop approving new coal and gas mines.*
  • <p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p>
  • <p>The question before the House is that the motion moved by the honourable member for Melbourne be agreed to.</p>
