Title
Bills — Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2020 Measures No. 1) Bill 2020; Second Reading- Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2020 Measures No. 1) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Keep second reading motion unchanged
Description
<p class='motion-notice motion-notice-truncated'>Long debate text truncated.</p>- The majority voted in favour of keeping the original [second reading motion](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) unchanged, which is "*that the bill be read for a second time*" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).
- This vote took place after Dobell MP [Emma McBride](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/dobell/emma_mcbride) moved the following amendment:
- > *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:*
- >
- > *(1) notes Australia's substantial reliance on global supply chains for medicines and medical devices;*
- >
- > *(2) further notes the supply issues that Australians have experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for common medicines; and*
- >
- > *(3) calls on the Government to consider stronger domestic supply capabilities as part of Australia's post‑COVID‑19 response".*
