Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion that the question be put, which was introduced by Liberal MP Christopher Pyne.

The question referred to was a motion introduced by MP Pyne 'that so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.' This motion was subsequently put.(See this division here. )

Background to the bill

The Qantas Sale Amendment Bill 2014 was introduced to remove the foreign ownership and other restrictions that apply to Qantas but do not apply to other airlines based in Australia.(Read more on ABC News and on ABC Radio's AM program. ) These restrictions include: limits on the issue and ownership of Qantas shares, the makeup of the board of directors, use of the name Qantas and the location of the head office, place of incorporation and principle place of business.(Read more in the bills digest (852 KB).)
