Division
Scott Morrison I move: That the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill 2016 be referred to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters for inquiry and report by no later than 9 am on 2 March 2016. Chris Bowen I would like to speak on the motion moved by the Treasurer. It is extraordinary that the Treasurer is moving this motion. His No. 1 priority, the thing he wants to talk to the House about, is how votes get counted—not his plans for the economy, not his policies, not the future of the Australian economy but political matters. That is the Treasurer's one big priority this week. He gave a speech last week. At least Rob Oakeshott had an announcement to make at the end of his 17-minute speech! Ian Goodenough The member for McMahon will resume his seat. I call the Leader of the House. Christopher Pyne I move: That the question be now put. Ian Goodenough The question is that the question be now put. The question now is that the motion moved by Mr Morrison be agreed to. Question agreed to.
House of Representatives, 2016-02-22. affirmative: ayes 80, noes 52.
