4th Feb 2021, 11:44 AM – Representatives Motions - Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry - Don't let a vote happen

The majority voted in favour of disagreeing with a motion to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as standing orders - in order to let another vote take place. This means the other vote won't happen.

Motion text

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Rankin from moving the following motion immediately:

That the House:

(1) notes:

(a) today marks two years since the release of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry's final report,

(b) this Prime Minister voted against that royal commission 26 times,

(c) two years after its final report only 27 of the royal commission's 76 recommendations have been implemented,

(d) the government has even abandoned the very first recommendation the royal commission made to keep responsible lending laws in place,

(e) this Prime Minister and this government have let down the victims of financial services misconduct; and

(2) calls on the Prime Minister to implement the recommendations of the royal commission.
