Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is that the majority agree to read the bill for a second time - parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the bill's main idea.
Amendment text
"whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House:
(1) notes the Government's lack of adequate public consultation in relation to the Australian Business Growth Fund; and
(2) further notes that the Government has failed to support the economic climate faced by small and medium sized businesses, with the economy deteriorating well before the bushfire crisis and the coronavirus outbreak hit".
