12th Feb 2020, 12:39 PM – Representatives Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Simplifying Income Reporting and Other Measures) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Criticism of Government
Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which means it failed. The usual second reading motion is "that the bill be read for a second time", which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. The amendment was introduced by Barton MP Linda Burney (Labor).
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 notes the Government's:
(1) stubborn defence for three years of its failed Robodebt program which frightened thousands of innocent Australians with false or inflated debts; and
(2) repeated attempts to cut the pension and social security".
