  • <p>I seek leave to move the following motion:</p>

  • The majority voted in favour of a "*gagging [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2020-08-31.31.1)*" that will stop the Leader of the Opposition and Grayndler MP [Anthony Albanese](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese) (Labor) from speaking any further in this debate.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That the Member be no longer heard.*
  • <p class="italic">(1) notes that:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) the Australian Government funds and regulates residential aged care;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(b) the Australian Government has not produced a COVID-19 plan for aged care;</p>

  • <p class="italic">(d) the aged care Royal Commission has said that if the Australian Government had acted upon previous reviews of aged care, the suffering of many people could have been avoided; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) produce a COVID-19 plan for aged care that delivers:</p>

  • <p class="italic">&#160;&#160;(ii) reduced home care waiting lists;</p>
  • <p class="italic">&#160;&#160;(iii) more transparency;</p>

  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
