Bills — Covid-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022; Second Reading- Covid-19 Vaccination Status (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill 2022 - Second Reading - Agree with the main idea of the bill
Description
<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>The question is that the bill be read a second time.</p><p></p><p></p> -
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2024-08-14.10.1) to agree with the main idea of the bill, which means it passed. In parliamentary jargon, they voted against reading the bill for a second time. This was a private member's bill sponsored by Queensland Senator [Pauline Hanson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/pauline_hanson) (One Nation).
- However, this question was [voted on for a second time](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/divisions/senate/2024-08-14/3) as several senators were on the wrong side of the room due to an error.
- ### What does the bill do?
- According to the [bill homepage](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/s1358), the bill:
- > *Prohibits discrimination based on a person's COVID-19 vaccination status by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, statutory authorities, local governments, and private enterprises.*
