Description
<p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>Before the debate is resumed on this bill I remind the House that it's been agreed that a general debate be allowed covering this bill and the Customs Tariff Amendment (Growing Australian Export Opportunities Across the Asia-Pacific) Bill 2019. I also inform the House that the original question was that this bill be read a second time. To this the member for Brand has moved as an amendment that all words after that be omitted with a view to substituting other words. The question before the House is that the amendment be agreed to.</p> <p class='motion-notice motion-notice-truncated'>Long debate text truncated.</p>- The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2019-10-21.29.3) introduced by Brand MP [Madeleine King](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/brand/madeleine_king) (Labor), which means it failed.
