The motion was introduced by Labor MP [Kelvin Thomson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/wills/kelvin_thomson). ### What does this motion mean? This motion asked the House to agree to stop Schedules 1 and 3 having legal force. Schedule 1 increases the House of Representatives' printing entitlements to $150,000 per member per year (from $125,000 per member per year). And as [MP Thomson explained](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2006-10-18.131.3), it also "allows MPs to roll over up to 45 per cent, or $67½ thousand, of unspent funds from their printing entitlements into the next year’s entitlement". Schedule 3 changes the Senate's printing entitlements, though this was not discussed in detail in the House. ### Motion text > That Schedules 1 and 3 to the Parliamentary Entitlements Amendment Regulations 2006 (No. 1), as contained in Select Legislative Instrument 2006 No. 211 and made under the Parliamentary Entitlements Act 1990, be disallowed.
