Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 52% attendance
5th Aug 2021, 11:38 AM – Representatives Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Child Care Subsidy) Bill 2021 - Second Reading - Comment on childcare affordability
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with amendments to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read for a second time" - parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. This means that the amendments failed.
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 notes that:
(1) most families receive no extra support from the Government's changes to the child care subsidy;
(2) the Government's changes do nothing to stop out of control child care fees;
(3) the workforce participation rate is projected to decline over the forward estimates; and
(4) Australia ranks 37 out of 41 OECD countries for child care affordability".
