9th Aug 2021, 5:04 PM – Representatives Education Services for Overseas Students (Registration Charges) Amendment Bill 2021 and three others - Second Reading - Condemns Government actions
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with an amendment introduced by Moreton MP Graham Perrett (Labor), which means it failed. The amendment would have added the words below to the usual second reading motion, which is that the bill be read a second time (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).
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:
(1) that the Government has damaged Australia's world-class higher education system, placing thousands of university workers' jobs at risk, and jeopardising Australian research; and
(2) the Government's actions will make it harder for Australia to recover from the COVID-19 recession".
