Secondly, the language in our original motion said, “Given the international embarrassment created by the Liberal Government”. This was replaced in the proposed motion of Mr. Johns by saying, “Given the international embarrassment created by the Speaker”.
I don't agree with his framing. I suspect he wouldn't agree with my framing.
In the interest of consensus language, how about we amend it to say, “Given the international embarrassment created by allowing a former soldier of a Nazi”. It's essentially taking out the giving of blame one way or the other. I think that gives us something that we're all comfortable with.
