The majority voted in favour of a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org/senate/?gid=2013-12-10.120.2) introduced by Labor Senator [Louise Pratt](http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Louise_Pratt&mpc=Senate&house=senate) that:
_At the end of the [motion](http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/division.php?date=2014-03-03&number=2&house=senate) to read the bill for a [second time](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html), add: “, but the Senate expresses concern over the impact of the abolition of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate\_Change\_Authority Climate Change Authority] on the provision of independent advice to Government and the public on carbon pollution reduction targets and actions.” _
This amendment doesn't change the effect of the amended motion and so is more of a symbolic move to show the majority of senator's dissatisfaction with the [Climate Change Authority (Abolition) Bill 2013](http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r5136).
_Background to the motion_
This bill was introduced to abolish the Climate Change Authority ('CCA'), which was established by the Labor government to provide independent advice on Australia’s emissions reduction targets, and other Australian Government climate change initiatives.(Read more about the CCA on its website [here](http://climatechangeauthority.gov.au/). It was created by the [Climate Change Authority Bill 2011](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fbillhome%2Fr4663%22). )
