27th Feb 2018, 4:30 PM – Representatives Treasury Laws Amendment (2018 Measures No. 1) Bill 2018 - Second Reading - Clamp down on phoenix activity
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion that would have amended the normal second reading motion, which is that the bill be read for a second time. Agreeing to read a bill for a second time is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. After this vote, the House can discuss the bill in more detail.
The amendment to the normal second reading motion was introduced by Labor MP Andrew Leigh.
What was the amendment?
That all words after 'That' be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
'whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House calls upon the Government to demonstrate it is completely committed to clamping down on phoenix activity by introducing legislation for a Directors Identification Number'.
