I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Warringah moving immediately—

That this House censure the Prime Minister for her confirmation today that she will defy the will of both Houses of Parliament that have condemned this Government’s Malaysia people swap.

Standing orders must be suspended today because that is the only way to ensure that the will of this parliament is secured. There is no more important issue currently before this parliament than ensuring that the parliament is sovereign.
