Title
Bills — Emergency Response Fund Amendment (Disaster Ready Fund) Bill 2022; Report from Federation Chamber- Emergency Response Fund Amendment (Disaster Ready Fund) Bill 2022 - Report from Federation Chamber - Concerns about policy
Description
<p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p><p>The question is that the amendment be disagreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with an [amendment](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;db=CHAMBER;id=chamber%2Fvotes%2F19a53668-c83d-4ab5-b553-9c63c4331d85%2F0045;query=Id%3A%22chamber%2Fvotes%2F19a53668-c83d-4ab5-b553-9c63c4331d85%2F0000%22), which means it was unsuccessful.
- Note that this is an amendment to a [second reading](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) motion, which means that it would have no legal force even if it had succeeded. Instead, these types of motions are symbolic and represent the will of the House majority.
- Note also that "*to give a bill a second reading*" is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with its main idea.
- ### Motion text
