Title

  • Bills — National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Strengthening Banning Orders) Bill 2020; Second Reading
  • National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Strengthening Banning Orders) Bill 2020 - Second Reading - Implement recommendations

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Stirling Griff</p>
  • <p>I move the second reading amendment on sheet 1121 standing in my name:</p>
  • <p class="italic">At the end of the motion, add: ", but the Senate:</p>
  • The majority voted against an [amendment](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?gid=2020-11-12.24.1) to the usual second reading motion introduced by South Australian Senator [Stirling Griff](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/stirling_griff) (Centre Alliance), which means it failed. The usual [second reading motion](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/) is "*that the bill be read a second time*," which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill.
