Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition from moving the following motion immediately:

That the House:

(1) notes:

(a) voter fraud is a "vanishingly small" issue in Australia according to the AEC;

(b) there were no prosecutions for multiple voting at the last election;

(c) on the eve of an election, the Morrison-Joyce Government is trying to ram through a bill to stop Australians voting;

(d) this is a desperate attempt to undermine our strong democracy and deny Australians their basic democratic rights;

(e) the Morrison-Joyce Government is trying to bring the politics and tactics of Trump's America into Australian democracy; and

(f) the bill will mean Australians who vote in the next election will spend even more of their weekend waiting in long lines stretching around the block to vote; and

(2) discharges Government business notice number 6 relating to the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Voter Integrity) Bill 2021 from the Notice Paper.

Our Prime Minister was the only world leader who didn't condemn those attacks on the Capitol Building.
