14th Feb 2022, 5:29 PM – Representatives Australian Research Council Amendment Bill 2021 - Second Reading - Condemn Government's research policies
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with an amendment to the usual second reading motion. The usual second reading motion is "this bill be now read a second time," which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill. Because this vote was successful, the amendment failed and the second reading motion will remain unchanged.
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 notes that the Government's mismanagement and politicisation of Australian Research Council grants and failure to adequately support Australia's universities during the pandemic are causing serious harm to our world-class researchers".
