12th May 2021, 7:09 PM – Representatives Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Student Assistance and Other Measures) Bill 2021 - Second Reading - Keep motion unchanged
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of keeping the usual second reading motion unchanged. The usual 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. This vote happened after Barton MP Linda Burney (Labor) proposed an amendment.
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:
(1) notes the Government has made it more expensive for Australian students to undertake tertiary study, and has pushed students into taking on more debt; and
(2) calls on the Government to ensure rural and remote students have access to quality continuing education".
