Title

  • Bills — Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Safety Net) Bill 2023; Second Reading
  • Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Strengthening the Safety Net) Bill 2023 - Second Reading - Lift income support payments

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Milton Dick</p>
  • <p>The question before the House now is on the amendment moved by the member for Brisbane to the amendment moved by the member for Deakin. The question is that the amendment moved by the honourable member for Brisbane be disagreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of *disagreeing* with an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/debate/?id=2023-05-31.24.1) to the usual second reading motion "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill). This means the usual motion will remain as it is.
  • ### 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 calls on the government to ensure no one is left behind and lift all income support payments above the poverty line".*
