15th Feb 2021, 6:24 PM – Representatives Royal Commissions Amendment (Confidentiality Protections) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Consider bill immediately
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with a motion introduced by Melbourne MP Adam Bandt (Greens), which means it failed. Mr Bandt explained the reason behind his motion:
There is a loophole that has been open since November 2019 that is hampering the work of the disability royal commission and that is stopping people having the confidence to come and tell their stories.
