Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment introduced by South Australian Senator Anne Ruston (Liberal), which means it failed. It would have added the words below to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).

Amendment text

At the end of the motion, add “, but the Senate calls on the Government to:

(a) provide definitive and objective measures on what it considers constitutes the success or failure of this bill; and

(b) if these measures are not met, move to alternative regulatory models such as allowing vaping products to be sold in general retail”.

Votes Not passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
