Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time." To read a bill for a second time is to agree with its main idea.

Because this division was unsuccessful, the original motion will remain unchanged. The amendment had been introduced by South Australian Senator Anne Ruston (Liberal).

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate is of the opinion that the Government has disrespected older Australians, their families and aged care providers due to their political restriction of the passage of similar legislation in the last Parliament when they were in Opposition".

Votes Not passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
