31st May 2023, 5:49 PM – Representatives Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Safety Net) Bill 2023 - Second Reading - Lift income support payments
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with an amendment to the usual second reading motion "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the usual motion will remain as it is.
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 calls on the government to ensure no one is left behind and lift all income support payments above the poverty line".
Votes Passed by a large majority
