Peter Slipper has resigned from the Liberal Party and taken on his new role as Speaker in the Lower House, causing a major shake-up in federal politics.
HARRY JENKINS, SPEAKER, LABOR MP (to press, getting out of car): G’day folks.
SERGEANT-AT-ARMS (in Parliament): Honourable members, the Speaker.
(in Parliament): Today marks my 1,382nd day as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
TONY ABBOTT, OPPOSITION LEADER (at press conference): The last day of the Parliament is normally an interesting one.
(Excerpts from Parliament):
HARRY JENKINS: My desire is to be able to participate in policy and parliamentary debate and this would be incompatible with continuing in the role of speaker.
JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER: The former speaker, the Member for Scullin, came to see me at 7.30 this morning and advised me that he would be tendering his resignation at 9am.
TONY ABBOTT: The member for Scullin simply rang up at 7.30 at the morning and said, ‘I love my colleagues so much that I want to go to caucus meetings again’!
ROB OAKESHOTT, INDEPENDENT MP: We’re all wondering exactly what did happen overnight.
JULIA GILLARD: Harry Jenkins as the Member for Scullin has decided it is time to return back home, back into the active service of the Labor Party.
TONY ABBOTT: He has been made to walk the plank! Oh Harry! What a surprise! What a surprise Harry! Oh Harry, I just…
MP (interrupts): Out of the blue!
TONY ABBOTT: Out of the blue! Out of the box!
HARRY JENKINS: When I vacate the chair at the end of this short statement I will visit the Governor-General to tender my resignation as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
TONY ABBOTT: This is a Government in a crisis. First it lost its way, then it lost its majority. And today Mr Speaker absolutely unprecedentedly it lost its speaker.
HARRY JENKINS: I go placidly with my humour intact. I wish you all well. (Applause)
(End of excerpts)
TONY ABBOTT (at press conference): No member of the Coalition party room should accept the Government’s nomination for speakership.
DARYL MELHAM, LABOR MP (in Parliament): I move that the Member for Fisher, Peter Slipper, do take the chair of this House as speaker.
MARK RILEY, CHIEF POLITICAL REPORTER (excerpt from Channel Seven News): This, the moment a deflated Tony Abbott learns he has lost a crucial number.
(Excerpts from Parliament):
DARYL MELHAM: He has shown that he is worthy of being elected to the position of speaker.
MICHAEL DANBY, LABOR MP: Despite his reputation in the local newspapers.
CHRISTOPHER PYNE, MANAGER OF OPPOSITION BUSINESS: This is utterly unprecedented for the Government not to follow the Westminster tradition of nominating one of their own members to be speaker of the Parliament.
DARYL MELHAM: As if it was some convention writ large.
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: They took part in this grubby action today.
TONY ABBOTT: One of most squalid manoeuvres, one of the most sordid political fixes.
JULIE BISHOP, DEPUTY OPPOSITION LEADER: Silly and slippery and slimy and shifty.
PETER SLIPPER, LIBERAL MP: Mr Clerk, I accept the nomination.
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: I nominate the Member for Chisholm today because the Member for Chisholm is quite correctly a member of the Government and should take the chair as speaker.
MP: Anna’s motto on her website is, ‘I’m here to help’.
ANNA BURKE, DEPUTY SPEAKER, LABOR MP: I am loathe to say I do not accept the nomination.
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: It gives me great pleasure to nominate the Member for Lyons as speaker of this House.
DICK ADAMS, LABOR MP: I decline the nomination Mr Clerk.
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: I move that the Member for Braddon do take the chair of this House as speaker.
(Cheers)
MP: Come on! Come on! Give it a go!
SID SIDEBOTTOM, LABOR MP: I decline the invitation thank you.
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: The Member for Cunningham.
The Member for Capricornia.
The Member for Hindmarsh.
The Member for Reid.
The Member for Calwell.
The Member for Petrie.
Surely there is one member of the Labor Party who regards themselves as worthy to take the chair as speaker of this Parliament?
CHRISTOPHER PYNE: The Labor Party thinks it is amusing to entertain the nomination of myself as the speaker of this Parliament.
TONY WINDSOR: It may be the only way we’ll shut him up.
CLERK: I declare that the honourable member proposed Mr Slipper has been elected as speaker.
PETER SLIPPER, SPEAKER: I wish to express my grateful thanks for the high honour the House has been pleased to confer upon me.
(End of excerpts)
SCOTT BUCHHOLZ, LIBERAL MP (to press): I don’t think they call slippery Pete slippery Pete for any other reason.
WARREN TRUSS, NATIONALS LEADER (in Parliament): There are always surprises, always surprises. And I guess today’s been one of those.
HARRY JENKINS, FORMER SPEAKER, LABOR MP: Now behave yourselves from now on all right.
