Title

  • Bills — Budget Savings (Omnibus) Bill 2016; Second Reading
  • Budget Savings (Omnibus) Bill 2016 - Second Reading - Social safety net

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Rachel Siewert</p>
  • <p> (&#8212;) (): I move the second reading amendment:</p>
  • <p class="italic">At the end of the motion, add</p>
  • The majority voted against an [amendment](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2016-09-15.196.1) introduced by Greens Senator [Rachel Siewert](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/wa/rachel_siewert), which means it was unsuccessful.
  • It would have amended the motion "That this [bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r5707) be now read a [second time](http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html)" (if you read a bill for a second time then you're agreeing with its main idea).
  • The amendment was:
  • > *At the end of the motion, add*
  • > *", but the Senate expresses its deep distress and concern at the continued attempt by the Coalition Government to cut away Australia's social safety net, including cuts to the Clean Energy Supplement, Carers Allowance and other measures which will hurt the most vulnerable and disadvantaged."*
  • <p class="italic">", but the Senate expresses its deep distress and concern at the continued attempt by the Coalition Government to cut away Australia's social safety net, including cuts to the Clean Energy Supplement, Carers Allowance and other measures which will hurt the most vulnerable and disadvantaged."</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Gavin Marshall</p>
  • <p>The question is that Senator Siewert's amendment be agreed to.</p>
