Description

  • <p class="speaker">Concetta Fierravanti-Wells</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>

  • The majority voted in favour of passing [the bill](http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r5939) as amended in the Senate. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill [for a third time](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html).
  • The bill will now return to the House where our Members of Parliament (MPs) will decide whether they agree with the Senate's amendments.
  • ### What does the bill do?
  • The bill was introduced to:
  • > *remove certain restrictions on the cashless debit card trial and thereby allow the extension of trial arrangements in current sites and to further sites.*
  • Read more about this trial in the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1718a/18bd058).
  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>The question is that this bill be now read a third time.</p>
