The majority voted against a [http://www.openaustralia.org/senate/?gid=2009-11-25.23.1 motion] introduced by Senator [http://publicwhip-test.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Rachel_Siewert&mpc=Senate&house=senate Rachel Siewert].
It would have amended the [http://www.openaustralia.org/senate/?gid=2009-11-18.3.3 original motion] "That these bills be now read a second time" with the following:
''At the end of the motion, add “and that:''
''(a) the bills, the multi-billion dollar adjustment to the bills, as agreed by the Coalition and the Government in November 2009, and the amendments required to implement that agreement, be referred to the [http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Economics Economics Legislation Committee] for inquiry and report by 12.30pm on 1 December 2009;''
''(b) the Minister representing the Treasurer provide to that committee by 30 November 2009, for consideration as part of that inquiry, any modelling or analysis commissioned by Treasury and/or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Climate_Change Department of Climate Change] and all documents prepared by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_the_Treasury_%28Australia%29 Treasury] in relation to the August 2009 Frontier Economics report on the economic impact of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme;''[1]
''(c) the Senate meet from 1 December to 3 December 2009 to consider the bills;''

Background to the bills
The [http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r4215 Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2009 (No. 2)] and five other related bills were introduced as a package to introduce the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_Pollution_Reduction_Scheme Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme]. These bills reflect the [http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fbillhome%2Fr4123%22 Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2009] and related bills, as amended in the House of Representatives before they were negated in the Senate.[2]
The [http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r4221 Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Bill 2009 (No. 2)] was introduced as part of a package of six bills along with five other related bills to introduce the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_Pollution_Reduction_Scheme Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme].
