I move:

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

That the House:

(1) notes the:

(a) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for his failures in quarantine which have led to city-wide lockdowns, state-wide lockdowns, and severe health impacts;

(b) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for his failure to vaccinate aged care workers which has put frail and vulnerable aged care residents at risk;

(c) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for his failure to vaccinate disability care workers which has put disability care residents at risk;

(d) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for the failure of his COVIDSafe app to assist contact tracers;

(e) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for the impact of him saying the vaccine rollout is not a race;

(f) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for the failure of his vaccine communications;

(g) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for his failure to secure sufficient doses of vaccines to vaccinate all Australians by October;

(h) Prime Minister's refusal to take responsibility for his failure to manufacture mNRA vaccines in Australia; and

(i) Prime Minister always takes responsibility for the successes of others, but not failures of his own; and

(2) therefore, calls on the Prime Minister to take responsibility for his failures and fix them instead of blaming everything and everyone else.

Earlier today the Prime Minister said we shouldn't be scared of this virus.

The question is that the Leader of the Opposition be no further heard.

Is the motion moved by the Leader of the Opposition seconded? The Deputy Leader of the Opposition.

Seconded. Nothing is more certain than this Prime Minister passing the buck. He takes responsibility for nothing—

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. The Leader of the House has the call.
