Description

  • <p class="speaker">Pauline Hanson</p>
  • <p>I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 71 standing in my name, relating to families and the tax system, relating to income splitting. Leave is granted.</p>
  • <p>I move the motion as amended:</p>
  • Since the same number of senators voted for and against this [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2019-07-31.274.1), the motion didn't pass. It had been introduced by Queensland Senator [Pauline Hanson](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/pauline_hanson) (Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party).
