Description
<p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p><p>The question is that this bill be agreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2023-03-09.35.2) to agree with the bill after it was considered by the Federation Chamber. This means that they can now vote on whether to [pass it](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) in the House of Representatives.
- ### What does this bill do?
- According to the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd2223a/Migration_Amendment_Australia_Engagement_in_the_Pacific_and_Other_Measures_Bill_2023):
- > *The purpose of the Migration (Visa Pre-application Process) Charge Bill 2023 (the Charge Bill) is to impose a charge on a person who registers in a visa pre-application process as set out in the provisions of the Amendment Bill. A separate Bill is required to impose the charge as there is a possibility the proposed charges may amount to a tax and section 55 of the Constitution requires that a law imposing taxation must not deal with any other matter.*
