30th Nov 2021, 4:55 PM – Senate Matters of Urgency - Covid-19: Morrison Government - Condemn approach
Summary
EditThe same number of senators voted for and against an urgency motion introduced on behalf of Victorian Senator Kimberley Kitching (Labor), which means it failed.
Motion text
That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:
Undermining of public health by the Morrison-Joyce Government by always doing too little too late, including ongoing failure to open any new federal quarantine facilities and deliver sovereign mRNA vaccine manufacturing capacity that would protect Australians and our neighbours from new variants of COVID-19, and instead pandering to anti-vax extremists for votes despite an ongoing global pandemic.
Votes Not passed
