I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House:

(1) notes that today the Prime Minister has openly contradicted the claims of the former Prime Minister on the guns for votes scandal;

(2) notes that in the first 15 sitting days of the 45th Parliament:

(a) the Government became the first majority Government in more than 50 years to lose control of the House of Representatives;

(b) the Treasurer introduced legislation containing a $107 million black hole;

(c) the Senate ran out of legislation to debate;

(d) for the first time in Federation, a Government voted to condemn itself;

(e) the former Prime Minister outflanked the current Prime Minister on his left and his right;

(f) the Prime Minister was rolled by his extreme right-wing on issue after issue;

(g) the Prime Minister condoned an Attorney-General who had misled the Parliament;

(h) the Health Department refused to endorse the Prime Minister's absolute guarantee on the cost of seeing a doctor; and

(i) the Government considered trading guns for votes; and

(3) therefore, censures the Prime Minister for 15 sitting days of unprecedented chaos from a Government in disarray.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Watson from moving the following motion forthwith—

That the House:

(1) notes that today the Prime Minister has openly contradicted the claims of the former Prime Minister on the guns for votes scandal;

(2) notes that in the first 15 sitting days of the 45th Parliament:

(b) the Treasurer introduced legislation containing a $107 million black hole;

(c) the Senate ran out of legislation to debate;

(d) for the first time in Federation, a Government voted to condemn itself;

You have got to hand it to them. They can fit a lot in in 15 days—

As the motion is based on an entirely false premise, I move:

That the member be no longer heard.

The question is that the Manager of Opposition Business be no longer heard.

Is the motion seconded?

Seconded. At least Tony Abbott stood for something. This bloke stands for nothing. The government stands for nothing.

The member for Grayndler will resume his seat.

I move:

That the member be no longer heard.

The question is that the member for Grayndler be no further heard.

The question now is that the motion be agreed to.

I move:

That the motion be put.

The question is that the motion be put.

The question is that the motion moved by the Manager of Opposition Business be agreed to.
