9th Sep 2019, 5:01 PM – Representatives Customs Amendment (Immediate Destruction of Illicit Tobacco) Bill 2019 - Second Reading - Criticism
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion to amend the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time". Agreeing to read a bill for a second time is the same as agreeing with the main idea of the bill.
Motion 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 is of the opinion that the Government, by failing to bring forward the appropriate legislation in a timely manner, has undermined the bill’s objective of significantly reducing the operational burden on Australian Border Force of implementing the illicit tobacco reforms".
