Dissent from Ruling

Wednesday, 30 November 2016 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

No. I am speaking on the motion. I am sorry, Deputy Speaker, you have to at least know that, when someone moves dissent, they are allowed to make a speech. If you do not know that, how are you running the chamber? What level of chaos do we have in the chamber, if you do not even know that someone is allowed to speak to a dissent motion? It is a dissent motion. There are no points of order during a dissent motion.
