A vote on how Parliament conducts its business, not on a law itself.
- Official title
- Motions - Carbon Pricing - Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders
Noes in the majority
This says only which side won the vote, because what Aye and No meant here depends on the exact question put in the chamber.
- Aye
- 72
- No
- 73
- Not recorded voting
- 5
“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.
What was decided
The majority voted against a motion introduced by Liberal MP Tony Abbott. This means that it was rejected. The motion was:
_That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Warringah moving immediately-_
_That this House calls on the Prime Minister to explain to the Australian people why she arrogantly refuses to give them a vote on whether Australia should introduce a carbon tax,(By "carbon tax", Mr Abbott is referring to the carbon pricing mechanism, which will begin on 1 July 2012. ) a vote that she denied them at the last election when she said "there will be no carbon tax under a Government I lead",(Read more about this promise, made by Prime Minister Julia Gillard, on ABC's The Drum.) and now rules out a plebiscite. If the Prime Minister thinks the Australian people want a carbon tax, why is she so scared to give the people their say?_
