Not passed by a modest majority
No rebellions 44% attendance
1st Aug 2023, 4:32 PM – Representatives Public Service Amendment Bill 2023 - Second Reading - Decline bill; respond to Robodebt Royal Commission report
Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment introduced by Goldstein MP Zoe Daniel. The amendment would have amended a previous amendment introduced by Curtin MP Kate Chaney (Independent), which was to add the words below to the usual second reading motion, which is "that the bill be read a second time" (parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill).
Ms Chaney's amendment
That all words after "That" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
"The House declines to give the bill a second reading until such time as the report on the Robodebt Royal Commission is handed down".
Ms Daniel's amendment
That all words after "time" be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:
"as the government responds to the recommendations of the Robodebt Royal Commission, the results of the Secretaries Board Integrity Taskforce review are made public and the recommendations of the Thodey Review on appointments and termination of Secretaries are acted upon".
