Title
Bills — Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Legislation Amendment (Operational Efficiency) Bill 2017; Second Reading- Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Legislation Amendment (Operational Efficiency) Bill 2017 - Second Reading - Criticism of Government decision to move APVMA
Description
<p class='motion-notice motion-notice-truncated'>Long debate text truncated.</p>-
- The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2018-02-12.114.1) to the usual second reading motion, which is "*that the bill be read for a second time*" - parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. This means it failed.
- ### Amendment 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, the House notes that since the former Agriculture Minister decided to force the relocation of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) to Armidale in his own electorate, the Authority has suffered critical staff loses and declines in operational efficiency".*
