Description
<p class="speaker">Rob Mitchell</p><p>The question now is that the bill be read a third time.</p> - The majority agreed to pass the bills, meaning that the bills will now go to the Senate for the senators to consider. In parliamentary jargon, they [read the bills for a third time](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html).
- ### What were these bills about?
- The bills re-institute a workplace relations framework that was first put in place back in 2005. Among other things, they re-establish the [Australian Building and Construction Commissioner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_the_Australian_Building_and_Construction_Commissioner) and re-introduce provisions dealing with unlawful [industrial action](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_action) and coercion that are specific to the building industry.
