3rd Feb 2021, 12:20 PM – Representatives Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2020 Measures No. 2) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Keep text unchanged
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to keep the usual second reading motion unchanged. The usual second reading motion is "that the bill be read a second time," which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. This vote was put after the MP for Hindmarsh Mark Butler (Labor) proposed an amendment.
Proposed amendment 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 condemns the ongoing campaign by some government members against the independent and expert Therapeutic Goods Administration, and urges the Prime Minister to finally censure those members.'
