Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment introduced by Tasmanian Senator Carol Brown (Labor), which means it failed.

Senator Brown explained that:

These amendments would remove a provision that allows the minister to specify other requirements a person must meet before being permitted to leave the cashless debit card and replace it with a provision that allows the minister to specify more details about how exiting the requirements should be met. This is because Labor does not think the government should be able to make it harder for people to get off the card, particularly given the breadth of the existing requirements in relation to the management of financial affairs, the protection of children and unlawful behaviour.

Votes Not passed by a small majority
