Passed by a small majority

24th Jul 2019, 7:18 PM – Representatives Migration Amendment (Repairing Medical Transfers) Bill 2019 - Second Reading - Concerns
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a amendment to the original second reading motion, which means it failed. The amendment would have changed the usual wording to the wording below. The usual wording is: that this bill be now read a second time, which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. The amendment was introduced by the MP for Scullin Andrew Giles (Labor).
Amendment wording
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 the:
(1) Minister for Home Affairs has:
(a) failed to accurately describe the processes providing for the medical transfer of people from Papua New Guinea and Nauru; and
(b) consistently mischaracterised the effects of these processes; and
(2) Minister for Home Affairs and the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship have failed to put forward any amendments which would address any genuine concerns they may have with the operation of the processes".
