Not passed by a small majority
No rebellions 86% attendance
13th Nov 2019, 7:13 PM – Senate National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Streamlined Governance) Bill 2019 - Second Reading - Staffing
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Tasmanian Senator Carol Brown (Labor), which means the words below will be added to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read for a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).
This motion does not make any legal changes in and of itself but is politically influential because it represents the will of the Senate.
Motion text
At the end of the motion, add:
", but the Senate calls on the Government to:
(a) remove the average staffing level cap for the National Disability Insurance Agency set out in Part 2 of Budget Paper No. 4 (2019–20); and
(b) directly employ the number of people required to administer the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013."
Votes Passed by a small majority
