Financial Regulator Assessment Authority Bill 2021 - Second Reading - Keep text unchanged
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 95% attendance
22nd Jun 2021, 10:42 PM – Senate Financial Regulator Assessment Authority Bill 2021 - Second Reading - Remove definition of 'departmental member'
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion to keep clause 23 in the bill. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against a motion "that clause 23 stand as printed". This means that clause 23 will now be removed from the bill, which will then return to the House of Representatives for them to decide whether they agree with its removal. This division is closely related to the amendments voted on in the next division.
What is clause 23?
23 Departmental member
(1) The Departmental member is:
(a) the person nominated by the Secretary under subsection (2); or
(b) if there is no such nomination—the Secretary.
(2) The Secretary may, in writing, nominate an SES employee in the Department (other than a staff member) to be the Departmental member.
(3) The office of Departmental member is not a public office for the purposes of the Remuneration Tribunal Act 1973 .
