Title

  • Bills — Treasury Laws Amendment (Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive) Bill 2017; Second Reading
  • Treasury Laws Amendment (Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive) Bill 2017 - Second Reading - Condemn Government

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Mark Coulton</p>
  • <p>In accordance with standing order 133, I shall now proceed to put the question on the motion moved earlier today by the honourable member for Fenner on which a division was called for and deferred in accordance with the standing order. No further debate is allowed.</p>
  • The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion - which is a motion to read the bill for a second time, parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. The amendment was introduced by Fenner MP [Andrew Leigh](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/fenner/andrew_leigh) (Labor).
  • ### Motion text
  • > *That all the 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:*
  • >
  • > *(1) the Government failed to deliver an impact assessment of the previous Exploration Development Incentive; and*
  • >
  • > *(2) has failed to deliver for the people of Western Australia".*
  • <p class="speaker">Tony Smith</p>
  • <p>The original question was that this bill be now read a second time. To this, the honourable member for Fenner has moved as an amendment that all words after 'that' be omitted with a view to substituting other words. So the question now is that the amendment moved by the member for Fenner be agreed to.</p>
