Title

  • Bills — National Cancer Screening Register Bill 2016, National Cancer Screening Register (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2016; Second Reading
  • National Cancer Screening Register Bill 2016 and another - Second Reading - Sensitive information

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Russell Broadbent</p>
  • <p>The original question was that this bill be now read a second time. To this the honourable member for Ballarat has moved as an amendment that all words after 'that' be omitted with a view to substituting other words. The immediate question is that the amendment be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2016-10-11.97.1) that "condemns the Government for outsourcing Australians' most sensitive health information", so it was unsuccessful.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:*
  • > *"whilst not declining to give the bill a [second reading](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html), the House condemns the Government for outsourcing Australians' most sensitive health information - including Medicare data - to Telstra, and before passing the necessary legislation."*
