Title

  • Business Consideration of Legislation
  • Business - Consideration of Legislation - Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020

Description

  • <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p>
  • <p>As I understand it, the only bill in this motion I've been asked to treat differently is the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020. That's the only one. I will put the motion without that bill, so with all the other legislation listed, and then separately I'll put the question on the contentious bill. The question is that the motion moved by the minister but without the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020 be agreed to.</p>
  • The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2020-12-08.15.2):
  • > *that the [Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query%3DId%3A%22legislation%2Fbillhome%2Fr6608%22) be included with the other bills exempt from the cut-off order.*
  • In other words, they wanted to suspend the usual procedural rules - known as [standing orders](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/parliament-at-work/standing-orders/) - so that they can consider the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020 during this sitting period.
  • <p>Question agreed to.</p>
  • <p>The question is that the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Bill 2020 be included with the other bills exempt from the cut-off order.</p>
