  • The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2019-09-11.18.1) to the usual [second reading motion](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html) "*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.
