7th Dec 2020, 4:39 PM – Representatives Foreign Investment Reform (Protecting Australia's National Security) Bill 2020 and another - Second Reading - Foreign acquisition
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with an amendment introduced by Kennedy MP Bob Katter (Katter's Australian Party), which means the amendment failed.
Motion text
That all words after "whilst" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
"not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House calls on the Government to immediately stop all foreign takeovers of agricultural lands and place a ban on the acquisition of assets of strategic economic importance or strategic defensive importance to Australia".
Votes Passed by a large majority
Nobody rebelled against their party.
