House debates Motions
Minister for Health and Ageing
Harry Jenkins Speaker
9:01 am
There being an equality of votes, I am required to exercise my casting vote. I take as my guidance, as I have indicated to the House in the past, House of Representatives Practice pages 182 to 183. I exercise my vote with the noes on the basis that there is not a majority for the proposition, and by casting my vote for the noes it does not stifle further discussion of the proposition.
Question negatived.
Is the motion seconded?
