Not passed by a small majority
No rebellions 93% attendance
Division last edited 12th Apr 2017 by mackay staff
The majority voted against Senate amendments, known as amendment nos (7), (8), (13) and (14). This means that those amendments are rejected by the House of Representatives and that they'll now need to be sent back to the Senate, where the senators will need to decide whether or not they insist on them. If they do insist, then the bill won't pass.
The bill relates to the ASIC And MSIC schemes. The bills digest explains that:
A security card, known as an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) or a Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC), is required by individuals in Australia if they require regular access to secure areas of Australia’s airports, seaports, Australian flagged ships, and offshore oil and gas facilities.
These amendments related to two different issues. First, they would have required that that certain serious or organised crime offences only be relevant to the ASIC and MSIC schemes if the offences were connected to terrorism.
Deputy Leader of the House Darren Chester explained that the Government rejected this change because:
Limiting the application of criminal organisation legislation to a connection with terrorism will severely restrict the ability to exclude people convicted of serious offences related to criminal organisations from gaining an ASIC or a MSIC.
The second change made by the amendments is that they would have included the ASIC and MSIC appeals mechanisms into the actual Aviation and Maritime Acts.
Deputy Leader of the House Darren Chester explained that the Government rejected this change because:
The Office of Parliamentary Counsel has advised that including the appeals process in the acts would not create any practical protection against future changes to the aviation and maritime regulations ... There is a comprehensive appeals process in the current aviation and maritime regulations and any future changes to the appeals process will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny as all changes to regulations are.
More information about why these changes were rejected is available in this schedule.
The bill relates to access to aviation and maritime areas and zones by, for example, changing the eligibility criteria for an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) and Maritime Security Identification Card (MSIC). Read the bills digest for more information.
Nobody rebelled against their party.
