Not passed by a small majority
No rebellions 79% attendance
12th Nov 2020, 11:22 AM – Senate National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Strengthening Banning Orders) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Increase number of investigators
Summary
EditThe majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion introduced by West Australian Senator Rachel Siewert (Greens), which means it failed. The usual second reading motion is "that the bill be read a second time," which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill.
Motion text
At the end of the motion, add: ", but the Senate:
(a) notes that despite the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission gaining 100 more staff and $92.9 million in funding over four years to expand its compliance and investigative capacity, only six of these new staff members will be dedicated investigators; and
(b) calls on the Government and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission to immediately increase the number of investigators on the ground in each state and territory, including in South Australia".
