Summary

Edit

The majority voted against an amendment to the usual second reading motion. The usual second reading motions is "that the bills be read a second time," which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bill.

Amendment text

Omit all words after "that", insert:

"further consideration of the bill be deferred until the Joint Select Committee on Australia's Family Law System has presented its final report."

Votes Not passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
