Passed by a modest majority
No rebellions 58% attendance
11th Sep 2019, 12:27 PM – Representatives Higher Education Support (Charges) Bill 2019 and another - Second Reading - University funding
Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading 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
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 Government has damaged the quality of Australia's world-class higher education system, having cut billions from universities by effectively capping undergraduate places and slashing research funding".
Votes Not passed by a small majority
