Description

  • <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p>
  • <p>We are dealing with the deferred vote from yesterday evening on the amendment moved by Senator McKim. The question is that the second reading amendment as put by Senator McKim on sheet 2904 be put.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of an [amendment](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Famend%2Fr7123_amend_219ede42-c4a0-4aa3-b103-cac6129c8349%22;rec=0) 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). That means that words below will replace the usual ones.
