I move:

That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Warringah from moving the following motion forthwith: That this House censures the Prime Minister for failing to govern Australia in a way that:

(1)

takes the nation forward and not backwards;

(2)

grows our economic prosperity, not risks it;

(3)

enhances our international reputation as a safe investment destination not trashes it;

(4)

keeps promises, not breaks them;

(5)

reduces debt and builds a surplus rather than reckless spending and billion dollar deficits;

(6)

stands up for our world leading industries, not hides from them;

(7)

spends taxpayers dollars like it comes out of his own pocket, not throws it out the door; and

(8)

has the mettle to defend his decisions and not run away; and,

They are not going to hide him yet again, for the third time running, on a day like this—

I move:

That the member be no longer heard.

Question put.

Is the motion seconded?

I second the motion. Kevin Rudd ran away from the miners last night; he is running away from the parliament today. Stand up and be counted. Do not run away; you have to answer to the Australian people for what you have done. This is the man who does not have the courage of his convictions—
