Description
<p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question now is that the bill be read a second time.</p> - The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2018-09-10.7.2) to agree with the main idea of the bill. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill [for a second time](https://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html).
- ### What is the bill's main idea?
- This [bill](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/s1129) was introduced to:
- > *restrict the long haul export of live sheep and lambs during the northern hemisphere summer months of July, August or September in a five year transitional period, or at any time after that period, where the voyage is by ship and of duration exceeding 10 days, and where a place in that voyage is either the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea (regardless of whether it is the final destination).*
