Description
<p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>No amendments have been circulated, so I intend to call the minister to move the third reading, unless there's an objection.</p> <p class="speaker">Simon Birmingham</p>- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2020-12-09.147.1) 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/).
