Description
<p class='motion-notice motion-notice-truncated'>Long debate text truncated.</p>- The majority voted against [amendments](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2019-10-17.55.1) introduced by Tasmanian Senator [Jacqui Lambie](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/tasmania/jacqui_lambie), which means they failed.
- Senator Lambie [explained that](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2019-10-17.55.1):
- > *These amendments retain $1 billion in the Education Investment Fund and transfer the remaining amount to the Emergency Response Fund. I don't expect these to pass, and let's consider why. This bill whips up a $4 billion opportunity to fund TAFE and turns it into a $4 billion fund to fund disaster responses. The government say: 'Don't worry about that. TAFEs have had enough money as it is. We're giving them plenty of money. They don't need $4 billion. You know what they say!'*
- >
- > *I say you're living in a fantasy land. You think TAFEs have too much money? Where are you living!*
