12th Nov 2020, 11:03 AM – Representatives Higher Education Legislation Amendment (Provider Category Standards and Other Measures) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Keep motion unchanged
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to keep the original wording of the second reading motion unchanged. A second reading motion is "that the bill be read a second time," which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. The change was proposed by the MP For Moreton Graham Perrett (Labor).
Proposed change
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:
(1) damaged the quality of Australia's world-class education system;
(2) abandoned university workers during the pandemic;
(3) cut billions in funding and made it harder and more expensive for students to go to university; and
(4) done nothing that will help young people get into priority courses and jobs".
Votes Passed by a small majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
