Bills — National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse Amendment (Technical Amendments) Bill 2020; Consideration in Detail- National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse Amendment (Technical Amendments) Bill 2020 - Consideration in Detail - Stop MP for Fadden from speaking now
Description
<p class="speaker">Linda Burney</p><p>I move the final amendment in my name, opposition amendment (8):</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of disagreeing with a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2021-02-04.52.4) "*That the member for Fadden be heard now.*" In other words, they voted that Fadden MP [Stuart Robert](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/fadden/stuart_robert) (Liberal) not be heard now.
<p class="italic">(8) Schedule 1, item 51, page 18 (after line 30), at the end of Part 8-2, add:</p><p class="italic">206 Better recognising the impact of sexual abuse</p><p class="italic">(1) As soon as practicable after this section commences, the Minister must consider the action that needs to be taken to have the assessment framework better recognise the impact of sexual abuse.</p><p class="italic">(2) Within 90 days after this section commences, the Minister must prepare a report on:</p><p class="italic">(a) what the Minister has done, or plans to do, to have the assessment framework better recognise the impact of sexual abuse; or</p><p class="italic">(b) if the Minister has not done, and does not plan to do, anything—the Minister’s reasons for this.</p><p class="italic">(3) The Minister must cause a copy of the report to be tabled in each House of the Parliament on or before the first sitting day of that House after the end of those 90 days.</p><p class="italic">(4) In this section:</p><p class="italic"><i>action</i> includes amending this Act, an instrument made under this Act, or any other law.</p><p>This amendment is about recognising the impact of abuse. This would require the impact of abuse to be better recognised. Survivors have told me about the cruel and arbitrary matrix which links payments for the impacts of abuse to the nature of the abuse. This needs to change so that payments for abuse are calculated independently, as recommended by the royal commission.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>The question is that the amendment be disagreed to.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Burke</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That the member for Fadden be heard now.</p> <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p><p>Yes, I think that's in order. The question is that the member for Fadden be heard now, so I need to put that question. All those of that opinion—</p><p>A government member interjecting—</p><p>I've got to put the question, yes. Sorry, I've just erred there. I'm going to reverse it so we don't need to swap sides; I'm anticipating there'll be a division. The question was that the member for Fadden be heard; it should be 'not heard'. Yes, that's right. Let's do it that way. The question is that the motion be disagreed to.</p> -
