Future Drought Fund Bill 2019 - Second Reading - Adjourn debate
Not passed by a small majority
No rebellions 95% attendance
22nd Jul 2019, 9:31 PM – Representatives Future Drought Fund Bill 2019 - Second Reading - Criticism
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion introduced by the MP for Hunter Joel Fitzgibbon, which means it failed. The motion would have amended the usual second reading motion that the bill be read for a second time, which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill.
Motion text
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:
(1) criticises the Government for its failure over six years to develop and implement a comprehensive and effective policy to assist rural and regional communities facing severe drought conditions; and
(2) notes that the inferior response contained in the bill requires the abolition of the Building Australia Fund, which could be used to build road, rail, and other vital infrastructure—including water infrastructure—in these very same rural and regional communities”.
