Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of government amendments introduced by Gorton MP Brendan O'Connor (Labor), which means they were successful and will now be part of the bill.

What does the amendment do?

Mr O'Connor explained that:

The government amendments to the bill will expand representation in Jobs and Skills Australia's governance arrangements to ensure its analysis and advice continue to be informed by tripartite expertise, knowledge and lived experience of the labour market and skills systems. That includes those in small business and those in regional, rural and remote Australia.
