I move:
That the bill be now read a third time.
Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
Madam Speaker, I am seeking the call.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
The member for McMahon on a point of order.
Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
We will oppose the third reading because this is a rort to wreck the superannuation of Australians.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
The member will resume his seat. That is an abuse of the standing orders and he knows it.
Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
How? The question was before the House. I sought the call. You gave me the call. I started. How was that an abuse of standing orders?
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
Because I thought you said that you had a point of order.
Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
I did not. I said no such thing, Madam Speaker.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
I am sorry. I thought I heard that. If you assure me that is not the case, then I accept that.
Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Given that that has now been made clear, does the member for McMahon get to continue his speech?
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
No, because the parliamentary secretary is seeking the call.
Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
For what? We are in the middle of a speech from the member for McMahon.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
I will give the call to the member for McMahon.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. This is a rort to wreck the superannuation savings of ordinary Australians—
Steven Ciobo (Moncrieff, Liberal Party, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
I move:
That the motion be put.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
The question is that the motion be put.
1:58 pm
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
The question now is that the bill be read a third time.
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Speaker) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
(In division)We are proceeding with the division. In accordance with standing order 97, at two o'clock we move to questions without notice; however, section 97(b) provides that, should a division be in progress, the division will proceed and be completed, and the result announced.
Bill read a third time.
