Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion to amend the usual second reading motion that the bill be read for a second time with the text below. Reading a bill for a second time means that they agree with the main idea of the bill. This amendment was introduced by Senator Brian Burston (NSW), which means it failed.

Motion text

Omit all words after “That”, substitute “the Senate insists consideration of the bill be postponed until formal advice from the Director-General of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Australian Federal Police Commissioner has been tabled in the Senate about the national security implications of the amendments circulated to this bill”.

Votes Not passed by a small majority
