Description
<p class='motion-notice motion-notice-truncated'>Long debate text truncated.</p>- The majority voted against a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2016-09-14.146.2) to disallow the [Social Security (Administration) (Trial Area—East Kimberley) Determination 2016](https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2016L00307), which means it was unsuccessful and the Determination will remain law. The motion was introduced by Greens Senator [Rachel Siewert](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/rachel_siewert).
- ### What does this mean?
- Senator Siewert proposed to stop the Determination from having legal force, so that it was no longer law.

- > *will test the concept of cashless welfare arrangements by disbursing particular welfare payments to a welfare restricted bank account, accessed by a debit card which does not allow cash withdrawals.*
- ### Motion text
- > *That the Senate disallow the Social Security (Administration) (Trial Area—East Kimberley) Determination 2016.*
