Title

  • Regulations and Determinations Export Control (Animals) Amendment (Northern Hemisphere Summer Prohibition) Rules 2022; Disallowance
  • Regulations and Determinations - Export Control (Animals) Amendment (Northern Hemisphere Summer Prohibition) Rules 2022 - Disallow

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to make a short statement.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2022-09-06.148.3) introduced by NSW Senator [Mehreen Faruqi](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/mehreen_faruqi) (Greens), which means it failed. It was a motion to disallow (meaning, stopping it from being law) the [Export Control (Animals) Amendment (Northern Hemisphere Summer Prohibition) Rules 2022](https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2022L00537).
  • Senator Faruqi [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2022-09-06.148.3):
  • > *The Export Control (Animals) Amendment (Northern Hemisphere Summer Prohibition) Rules 2022 reduces the ban on exporting sheep to Red Sea destinations by two weeks in June, and reduces the ban on exporting sheep to Qatar by 10 days in May.*
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That the Export Control (Animals) Amendment (Northern Hemisphere Summer Prohibition) Rules 2022, made under the Export Control Act 2020, be disallowed [F2022L00537].*

  • <p> For all of the previous occasions on which we heard from Labor and the Greens how outrageous it was to shut down debate, we now have the remarkable situation where the Greens have just voted to guillotine debate on their own disallowance motion, where they will now sit there and watch Labor come over this side and defeat their disallowance motion. That is how much the Greens are willing to contort themselves in these matters. The Greens are now contorting themselves to shut down debate, in defiance of everything they've have had to say along the way. The Labor Party is shutting down debate on an issue when there are only two speakers left on the list. They couldn't allow another two speeches to proceed before they had to come in here, shut down debate and close things off, in defiance of everything they used to say. <i>(Time expired)</i></p>

  • <p>The question is that business of the Senate order of the day No. 3 be agreed to.</p>
