House debates Matters of Public Importance
Employment
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
3:28 pm
I have received a letter from the honourable member for Lingiari proposing that a definite matter of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion, namely:
The recent failure of the government to take action to prevent imminent job losses across Australia, including at the Gove alumina refinery.
I call upon those honourable members who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.
More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Minister for Education
I move:
That the business of the day be called on.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
The question is that the motion be agreed to.
