Federal Financial Relations Amendment (National Health and Hospitals Network) Bill 2010 — Second Reading
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 97% attendance
24th Nov 2010, 6:54 PM – Representatives Federal Financial Relations Amendment (National Health and Hospitals Network) Bill 2010 - Second Reading - Decline to give a second reading
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion that the words that Liberal MP Joe Hockey proposed to omit remain unchanged. The majority wanted the original motion, which was that the bill be read for a second time,(Read more about the stages that a bill must pass through here. ) to remain as it is.
Mr Hockey's amendment was: That all the words after “that” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
“the House declines to give the bill a second reading until:
(a) there has been laid on the table of the House a copy of an agreement reached between the Commonwealth and each of the states and territories about GST handback in relation to the measures in this bill;(Read more about GST in Australia on Wikipedia here. )
(b) each of the states and territories has signed that agreement; and
(c) given that the state opposition parties in New South Wales and Victoria have signalled that they do not support the current agreement, the people of those states have voted in their upcoming state elections”.
One member, Nationals MP Tony Crook, rebelled and crossed the floor to vote 'no' with the Greens.(Read more about what it means to cross the floor in our FAQ Section. )
Background to the bill
The bill was introduced to vary the way the Commonwealth makes GST payments to states participating in the National Health and Hospitals Network Agreement (395 KB).(Read more about this bill, including its bills digest and explanatory memorandum, here. Learn more about it on ABC News here.)
