Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of passing the bills. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bills for a third time. Since the bills have already passed in the House of Representatives, they'll now become law.

What do these bills do?

The two bills are:

The bills were introduced to implement the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP-11). Their basic purpose is to implement the customs dimensions of the TPP-11 Agreement by making relevant amendments to the Customs Act 1901 and the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
