Emergency Response Fund Bill 2019 and another - Second Reading - Invest
Not passed by a large majority
No rebellions 66% attendance
17th Oct 2019, 11:49 AM – Senate Emergency Response Fund Bill 2019 and another - in Committee - $1 billion to TAFE
Summary
EditThe majority voted against amendments introduced by Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie, which means they failed.
Senator Lambie explained that:
These amendments retain $1 billion in the Education Investment Fund and transfer the remaining amount to the Emergency Response Fund. I don't expect these to pass, and let's consider why. This bill whips up a $4 billion opportunity to fund TAFE and turns it into a $4 billion fund to fund disaster responses. The government say: 'Don't worry about that. TAFEs have had enough money as it is. We're giving them plenty of money. They don't need $4 billion. You know what they say!'
I say you're living in a fantasy land. You think TAFEs have too much money? Where are you living!
