Title
Bills — Fair Work Laws Amendment (Proper Use of Worker Benefits) Bill 2019; Second Reading- Fair Work Laws Amendment (Proper Use of Worker Benefits) Bill 2019 - Second Reading - Don't agree with bill
Description
<p class="motion-notice motion-notice-notext">No motion text available</p>- The majority voted against an amendment to the usual [second reading](https://www.peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) motion "*that the bills be read a second time*", which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. Since this vote was unsuccessful, the second reading motion will remain unchanged.
- ### Amendment text
- > *The House:*
- >
- > *(1) declines to give the bill a second reading; and*
- >
- > *(2) notes that:*
- >
- >> *(a) this Government has not proposed legislation to deal with important workplace relations matters, such as wage theft, flat lining wages growth, or deaths in the workplace;*
- >>
- >> *(b) this bill and the Act it seeks to amend represent an inconsistent approach by the Government to responding to Royal Commissions; and*
- >>
- >> *(c) instead of protecting workers from wage theft, the Government has determined to attack the worker entitlement funds that guarantee workers’ entitlements are paid.*
