Title

  • Motions Member for Bowman
  • Motions - Member for Bowman - Stop Lilley MP from speaking

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Is the motion seconded?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anika Wells</p>
  • <p>I second the motion. Why the protection racket, when the standard that you walk past is the standard that you accept? I heard many members opposite say they felt that what the member for Bowman had done was outrageous, yet they came into the chamber and they voted to keep him.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The member for Lilley will resume her seat.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Sussan Ley</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 Lilley be no further heard.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-05-12.122.1):
  • > *That the member [Lilley MP [Anika Wells](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/lilley/anika_wells) (Labor)] be no longer heard.*
  • This is known as a gagging motion and means that Ms Wells won't be able to contribute anymore to this debate.
