Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion to read the bill for a third time, which is parliamentary jargon for voting to pass the bill. Because the bill has already passed in the House of Representatives, it will now become law.

What does the bill do?

According to the bill homepage, this bill was introduced in order to:

streamline the way in which product specific rules of origin of the Australia-Chile Free Trade Agreement, Australia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Agreement, Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement, Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement, Malaysia-Australia Free Trade Agreement and Thailand-Australia Free Trade Agreement are given effect domestically.

Votes Passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
