Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment introduced by Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce. This means that it was unsuccessful. The amendment related to limiting the percentage of the market controlled by major oil companies.

Senator Joyce rebelled and crossed the floor to vote 'aye' in favour of his amendment.(Read more about what it means to cross the floor in our FAQ Section. )
