Title

  • Matters of Urgency Budget
  • Matters of Urgency - Budget - Criticise Labor Government

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Louise Pratt</p>
  • <p>I rise only to correct an error of my own making, which was that I failed to lend my voice to our opposition to the urgency motion put by Senator Hume, because I was too busy thinking ahead about committee reports et cetera. We would have sought to oppose and divide on the question of the urgency motion put by the coalition. I seek leave to recommit for a vote the motion put by Senator Hume.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-06-13.124.1) introduced by Victorian Senator [Jane Hume](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/victoria/jane_hume) (Liberal), which means it failed.

  • <p>Leave granted.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
