  • <p>Is the motion seconded?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2020-10-26.102.1) "*That the member be no longer heard.*" In other words, they voted that the MP for Watson [Tony Burke](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) (Labor) stop speaking for the rest of this debate. These motions are known as *gagging orders*.
  • <p>Seconded. The culture comes from the top. They treat taxpayers' money like it's their own, like it belongs to the Liberal Party&#8212;</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>
