19th Mar 2012, 9:30 PM – Senate Minerals Resource Rent Tax Bill 2011 and related bills - Second Reading - Motion to continue debating
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion moved by Liberal Senator Mathias Cormann that:
...so much of standing order 142 be suspended as would prevent further consideration of the bill without limitation of time.(To learn more about standing orders, see this Fact Sheet. )
This means that the majority were in favour of limiting the time available to debate the introduction of the Minerals Resource Rent Tax.(To learn more about the Minerals Resource Rent Tax see the Australian Tax Office's website and Wikipedia.)
