House debates Bills
Treasury Laws Amendment (Working Holiday Maker Reform) Bill 2016; Third Reading
Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Treasurer
7:25 pm
I seek leave of the House to move the third reading immediately
Leave not granted.
I move:
That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.
A division having been called and the bells being rung—
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
Mr Speaker, the Treasurer, in moving this motion, has just sought to suspend standing orders. He was not sought to invoke the contingency motions that are available to him on the Notice Paper.
Tony Smith Speaker
He did not seek to suspend standing orders. He was referring to the contingency—
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
That is what he said.
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
I think you will find that he did.
Tony Smith Speaker
Yes, but it is on the Notice Paper. We are proceeding. The question is that the motion moved by the Treasurer be agreed to.
Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Treasurer
7:36 pm
I move:
That this bill be now read a third time.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
7:37 pm
I rise to speak to the motion. Those opposite are engaging in a ridiculous use of the parliament. Those opposite are shutting down a debate that can be had this week. The Senate will not sit for three weeks.
Debate interrupted.
