What was decided

The majority voted in favour of stopping Grayndler MP and Leader of the Opposition Anthony Albanese (Labor) from speaking any more in this debate. In parliamentary jargon, they voted "That the Member be no longer heard." These motions are known as gagging motions.

MP Albanese had just said:

The PM is an empathy vacuum but an accountability black hole.
