- Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Streamlining Environmental Approvals) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Stop Griffith MP from speaking
Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
<p>Is the motion seconded?</p>
<p class="speaker">Terri Butler</p>
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2020-09-03.175.1) to stop the Member for Griffith [Terri Butler](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/griffith/terri_butler) (Labor) from speaking any further in this debate. These motions are known as *gagging orders*.
<p>I second the motion. Scrutiny is extinct under this government. It's very clear, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves.</p>
<p class="speaker">Christian Porter</p>
<p>I move:</p>
<p class="italic">That the Member be no longer heard.</p>
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
<p>The question is that the member for Griffith be no further heard.</p>
