Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion to read the bill for a third time. In other words, they voted to pass the bill. Because it had already been passed in the House of Representatives, it will now become law.

What does the bill do?

According to the bills digest, the bill was introduced to:

  • apply new accountability obligations to senior executives of authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) and
  • introduce a civil penalty regime alongside enhanced powers for the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to rely on in the event ADIs and certain accountable persons fail to meet the new obligations.

Votes Passed by a large majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
