Bill Shorten Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
2:32 pm
Given that the Prime Minister did not have the chance to answer the last question I seek leave to move the following motion:
(1) leading a chaotic and incompetent government;
(2) ruling out more cuts to foreign aid but not to schools, hospitals or pensioners;
(3) preparing a budget filled with more lies, more cuts and more chaos;
(4) having no plan for Australia's future; and
(5) using the budget in a desperate attempt to save his own job.
Leave not granted.
I move:
That so much of standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition from moving the following motion forthwith:
That the House condemns the Prime Minister for:
(1) leading a chaotic and incompetent government
(2) for ruling out more cuts to foreign aid but not to schools, hospitals or pensioners
(3) preparing a budget filled with more cuts and more chaos
(4) having no plan for Australia's future and
(5) using the budget in a desperate attempt to save his own job.
If the New South Wales Liberal machine do not want Tony Abbott, why should Australia have him?
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
I call the Leader of the House. The member will resume his seat.
Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
I move that the member be no longer heard.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
The question is that the member be no longer heard.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

Madam Speaker, as the opposition have plainly run out of questions, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
