  • <p>As foreshadowed in my second reading speech, I move:</p>

  • The majority voted against a [motion](http://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2016-09-15.198.1) introduced by Greens Senator [Larissa Waters](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/larissa_waters), which means it was unsuccessful.
  • ### Motion text
  • > *At the end of the motion, add:*
  • > *, but the Senate condemns this bill for ripping $500 million from the [Australian Renewable Energy Agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Renewable_Energy_Agency)'s clean energy innovation grants as a dangerous and irresponsible act of sabotage, especially in a climate emergency and global transition to clean energy, and because it leaves the Coalition and Labor parties with no meaningful plan to meet Australia's [Renewable Energy Target](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_renewable_energy_target#Commonwealth_Government) and pollution reduction target agreed at the [Paris climate conference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference).*
