Description

  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>Is leave granted for the third reading to be moved immediately?</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Chris Bowen</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2018-02-08.16.1) to suspend [standing orders](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/standing-orders.html). In other words, they voted in favour of allowing a vote to happen even though parliamentary rules would ordinarily stop it.
  • ### About the bill
  • The purpose of [the bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r5867) is to:
  • > *progressively extend the lower 27.5 per cent corporate tax rate to all corporate tax entities by the 2023-24 financial year; and further reduce the corporate tax rate in stages so that by the 2026 27 financial year, the corporate tax rate for all entities will be 25 per cent*
  • Read more in the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1718a/18bd022).
  • <p>Not when they're giving away $65 million. No, leave is not granted.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The member for McMahon will resume his seat. The Treasurer.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Morrison</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the motion for the third reading being moved without delay.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The question is the motion moved by the Treasurer be agreed to.</p>
