  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2019-09-11.32.1) to amend the usual second reading motion, which is "*that the bill be read a [second time](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html)*". Agreeing to read a bill for a second time is the same as agreeing with the main idea of the bill.
