Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion introduced by WA Senator Jordon Steele-John (Greens), which means the motion failed.

Motion text

At the end of the motion, add:

", but the Senate is of the opinion that:

(a) the current process for negotiating trade agreements needs to be amended to increase transparency around the negotiations and final text of agreements;

(b) all trade agreements should be subject to independent national interest assessments;

(c) investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions need to be excluded from all trade agreements; and

(d) human rights, labour, and environmental protection provisions must be included in all trade agreements."

Votes Not passed by a modest majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
