I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House:

  (c) this renders the Register of Members' Interests completely meaningless; and

  (d) those same backbenchers now have the chance to put things right and restore basic standards of transparency and integrity to this Parliament;

(2) provides leave for the Manager of Opposition Business to once again move a motion to refer the Member for Pearce to the Committee of Privileges and Members' Interests.

It's no good telling the media privately that you think last week's vote was a terrible thing if you were part of that vote. Every one of those members who wants to go off to the media or to their electorate and claim it was nothing to do with them should change their vote today.

I move:

That the Member be no longer heard.

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

Is the motion seconded?

I second the motion. This government has opened the door to corruption and opened the door to bribery of—

I move:

That the Member be no longer heard.

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

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