Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Hansard source

I seek leave to move the following motion, which was last moved on 26 June 2013:

That this House calls on the Government to end its internal arguments and actually govern the country and if it can't, to restore the selection of the Prime Minister to the people in an election, where it should be.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Watson from moving the following motion forthwith—

That this House calls on the Government to end its internal arguments and actually govern the country and if it can't, to restore the selection of the Prime Minister to the people in an election, where it should be.

I do not know whether we have got two prime ministers or none at the moment, but I do know that every election commitment is now gone.
