Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment 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). This means the original motion will remain unchanged. The amendment was introduced by Melbourne MP Adam Bandt (Greens).

Motion 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:

(1) notes this bill is still before Senate inquiry;

(2) notes the proposed legislation does not address the powerful, unchecked role that the Murdoch media empire plays in spreading mis- and disinformation in our democracy; and

(3) calls on the government to tackle mis- and disinformation spread by the Murdoch media".

Votes Not passed by a large majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
