Higher Education Support Amendment (Job-Ready Graduates and Supporting Regional and Remote Students) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Speed things along
Passed by a small majority
No rebellions 49% attendance
8th Oct 2020, 5:34 PM – Senate Higher Education Support Amendment (Job-Ready Graduates and Supporting Regional and Remote Students) Bill 2020 - Third Reading - Put the question
Summary
EditThe same number of senators voted for and against a motion "That the question be now put," which means the motion failed. Ordinarily, this would mean that the debate would continue. However, following this vote, it appeared that no one wished to speak, so the question was put immediately regardless.
Votes Not passed
Nobody rebelled against their party.
