Title

  • Bills — Treasury Laws Amendment (Your Superannuation, Your Choice) Bill 2019; Third Reading
  • Treasury Laws Amendment (Your Superannuation, Your Choice) Bill 2019 - Third Reading - Pass the bill

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Jane Hume</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That this bill be now read a third time.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2020-08-25.53.1) to pass the bill. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill for a [third time](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/). The bill will now be sent back to the House of Representatives, where our MPs will decide whether they agree with the amendments. If so, the bill will become law.
  • ### What is the main idea of the bill?
  • According to the [bills digest](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/bd/bd1920a/20bd104):
  • > *The purpose of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Your Superannuation, Your Choice) Bill 2019 (the Bill) is to amend the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (SGAA) to ensure employees under new workplace determinations or enterprise agreements have an opportunity to choose the superannuation fund for their compulsory employer contributions.*
  • <p class="speaker">David Fawcett</p>
  • <p>The question is that the bill be read a third time.</p>
