Title
Motions — Deputy Prime Minister
- Motions - Deputy Prime Minister - Let a vote happen
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
<p>The question is that the motion moved by the member for Watson be agreed to.</p>
- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2017-09-04.81.2) introduced by Watson MP [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor), which means it failed.
- ### Motion text
- > *That so much of the [standing and sessional orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html) be suspended as would prevent the Member for Watson from moving the following motion forthwith—*
- >
- > *That the House calls on the Prime Minister to immediately stand aside the Deputy Prime Minister from Cabinet until his constitutional qualifications have been determined by the High Court.*
