Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion to disallow the Industry Research and Development (Forestry Recovery Development Fund Program) Instrument 2020, which was introduced by Victorian Senator Janet Rice (Greens). This means the motion failed.

Why was this motion introduced?

According to Senator Rice:

this fund will be subsidising ongoing destructive native forest logging. It is clearly recognised as being destructive by the Federal Court, by the government conservation regulator in Victoria, by the amazing scientists who have put in decades of research on these forests, by First Nations people and by the communities who are living with seeing their precious forests being devastated and who are putting their bodies on the line to protect these forests.

Motion text

That the Industry Research and Development (Forestry Recovery Development Fund Program) Instrument 2020, made under the Industry Research and Development Act 1986, be disallowed [F2020L01081].

Votes Not passed by a modest majority
