Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Cheaper Child Care) Bill 2022 - Second Reading - Concerns about Government's spending commitments
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 95% attendance
27th Oct 2022, 10:32 AM – Representatives Family Assistance Legislation Amendment (Cheaper Child Care) Bill 2022 - Second Reading - Free universal early childhood education and care
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with an amendment introduced by Griffith MP Max Chandler-Mather (Greens), which means it failed.
Note that this is an amendment to a second reading motion, which means that it would have no legal force even if it had succeeded. Instead, these types of motions are symbolic and represent the will of the House majority.
Motion text
That all words after "reading" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
the House:
(1) notes this bill only provides limited support for families that are currently paying exorbitant fees for early childhood education and care; and
(2) calls on the government to make early childhood education and care universal and free, and address the workforce crisis by ensuring educators receive better pay and conditions".
Votes Passed by a large majority
