Motions — Pittsburgh—Condemnation of Attack on Jewish Community

I seek leave to move a motion without debate that this House supports the worldwide Shabbat services condemning the recent horrific attack on the Jewish community in Pittsburgh.

💬 SPEAKER: I just want to check that that’s been cleared through the whips. It has been. I’ll put the question that the member be given leave to move that motion without notice and without debate.

💬 Dr Duncan Webb: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Could he read it again? Many of us couldn’t hear it because the mike wasn’t on.

💬 SPEAKER: It’s been cleared by the whips, and it’ll become pretty clear to the member soon.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I seek leave for this motion, That this House supports the worldwide Shabbat services this past weekend condemning the recent horrific attack on the Jewish community in Pittsburgh and acknowledges that no one should be forced to live in fear in their daily lives, no matter their race or religion, for fear of terror or anti-Semitism.

Now, what I’m going to do is, notwithstanding it being a bit of a repeat of seeking leave, I’ll take that as being the motion.

Motion agreed to.
