Title

  • Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2018 - Second Reading - Postpone consideration

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>We will now move to the second reading amendment on sheet 8622, circulated in the name of Senator Burston. The question is that the second reading amendment in the name of Senator Burston on sheet 8622 be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted against a [motion](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;db=CHAMBER;id=chamber%2Fjournals%2Fa8500a04-b5f6-4a78-a954-a25c5e052610%2F0025;query=Id%3A%22chamber%2Fjournals%2Fa8500a04-b5f6-4a78-a954-a25c5e052610%2F0000%22) 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](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/nsw/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”.*
