Not passed by a small majority
No rebellions 85% attendance
30th Nov 2023, 9:39 AM – Senate Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Bill 2023 - Keep bill items as they are; held environmental water
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of keeping the following items in the bill as they are:
- items 2, 3, 6, 19 and part 3 of schedule 1;
- items 8, 9, 18, 19, 22, 23, 45 to 47, 56 and 57 of schedule 2; and
- items 12 to 14, 16, 40 to 42, 53, 54, 60 and 63 to 74 and section 7.08B in item 21 of schedule 2.
In parliamentary jargon, they voted that they 'stand as printed'. This vote was put after the opposition proposed that all those items be opposed.
Several of these items relate to held environmental water (HEW), which are "water access entitlements that are specifically set aside and managed for environmental purposes" (see the bills digest for more information).
Rebellion?
Note that Victorian Senator David Van (Independent) is currently showing up as a rebel voter from the Liberal Party in this division (as of 13/12/2023). This is inaccurate, as Senator Van is no longer in the Liberal Party.
