Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): I seek leave to move the following motion: That the House: (1) notes that: (a) the Prime Minister was willing to trade guns for votes with Senator Leyonhjelm; (b) the Prime Minister is willing to trade race hate protections to protect himself from his backbench; (c) the Prime Minister has traded cash for votes with Senator Day; and (d) today, in an extraordinary turn of events, it’s been revealed that the Prime Minister knew for more than two months that there was a potential issue under section 44 of the Constitution in relation to Senator Day and chose to bring the Parliament back and keep that information secret from the Australian people; and (2) therefore, condemns the Prime Minister for: (a) being willing to do absolutely anything to keep his job; and (b) his weak leadership which is inflicting chaos on the Parliament and the country. Leave not granted. Mr SHORTEN: Oh, protection racket! I move: That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Maribyrnong from moving the following motion forthwith: That the House: (1) notes that: (a) the Prime Minister was willing to trade guns for votes with Senator Leyonhjelm; (b) the Prime Minister is willing to trade race hate protections to protect himself from his backbench; (c) the Prime Minister has traded cash for votes with Senator Day; and (d) today, in an extraordinary turn of events, it’s been revealed that the Prime Minister knew for more than two months that there was a potential issue under section 44 of the Constitution in relation to Senator Day and chose to bring the Parliament back and keep that information secret from the Australian people; and (2) therefore, condemns the Prime Minister for: (a) being willing to do absolutely anything to keep his job; and (b) his weak leadership which is inflicting chaos on the Parliament and the country. Is there anything this Prime Minister will not trade to save his job? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. The Leader of the House has the call.
