13th Sep 2023, 10:17 AM – Representatives Statutory Declarations Amendment Bill 2023 - Report from Federation Chamber - Criticism of Government
Summary
EditThe majority voted against 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) - which was introduced by Bradfield MP Paul Fletcher (Liberal).
Motion 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) the electronic execution of a Commonwealth statutory declaration was first implemented under the former government;
(2) digital verification relies on MyGovID and the Trusted Digital Identity Framework, both of which were created by the former government;
(3) the government is yet to formally respond to the MyGov User Audit; and
(4) the government is yet to establish a legislated national digital identity system".
