Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of amendments introduced by South Australian Rex Patrick (Centre Alliance), which means they passed.
In explaining the Labor Party's support for the two amendments, numbered (5) and (7), NSW Senator Jenny McAllister (Labor) explained that:
As I indicated, Labor will support these amendments. In relation to amendment (5), we support the provision of additional information to taxpayers as outlined in that amendment. In relation to amendment (7), we do support consultation with the Inspector-General of Taxation on all legislative instruments under this bill. We understand that this is something that occurs already, but we think it is important that it is placed in the primary legislation.
